arch. document section 6.6 mentions

   "The path computation request may include a significant set of
  requirements including:

  - the source and destination of the path"


... there is an underlying question beside this, is it the source/destination of the LSP or is it the source/destination between which path computation has to be performed and that may correspond to the source/destination of the LSP itself

the side point is that in that the notion of path was since so far linked to the signaling protocol hence linked to the notion of LSP, but it in the context of a PCE this notion does not necessarily hold anymore, e.g., one coudl request for the computation of a path between point A and point B (A being not the sourceof the LSP and B being not the destination of the LSP) even if there is no a 1:1 relationship between the entity corresponding to the path between A and B and the way the signaling protocol translate the "path segment" between A and B

some clarification would be welcome here in the context of this document

thanks,
