Hi Reji, Notice what it says: *" ... explicitly listed intermediate nodes ... "*
CRH which is used in SRv6+ does not explicitly list intermediate nodes so I do not think the procedures in IPv6 spec apply as the way you interpret them. But I am i no way authoritative ... still learning IPv6 and this thread become great education. An real example where those procedure apply is documented in RFC6554 which does put the addresses explicitly. Many thx, Robert.
