Hi, While it is an interesting idea to make this generic, I think we should limit this TLV to be used with the LSP object only to keep this focused and avoid complexity.
Regarding sending errors, I don't think we have specified such an error before for any other TLVs which are specific to an Object. Applying the robustness principle and ignoring the TLV (if received in other objects) would make sense IMHO. Thanks!
