this is intentional.

It’s a use case draft where we describe the various protection requirements and 
 strategies for protection.

It has never been intended to describe a specific solution.

It all depends on various factors among which the topology and how these paths 
have been computed (i.e.: for which failure: link/node/srlg). IOW, you _can_ 
compute disjoint paths taking into account a given srlg failure.

For sure, a path expressed through an exhaustive (list of adj-sid will give you 
the best guarantee on the path the packet will take in all cases but it is not 
the point of the draft.

I don’t disagree while I believe it mostly depends on the topology. 

More important is the fact that the document should not focus on one specific 
way of computing protection paths.
