Hi Darren,
I agree that in the current form, the authors asserted that proposed C-SID
mechanisms are parts of the single data plane. But, as I've noted earlier,
that the resolution should come as a conclusion, not an assertion. I hope
that the authors will share text that would illustrate in detail, pointing
out to all exclusions and restrictions, interworking of the two C-SID
approaches encoded in the same SRH instance. I believe that without such
demonstration, without converting from an assertive form to documenting the
interaction of SID compressions in the same SRH the issue cannot be closed,
cannot be marked as addressed.

Regards,
Greg
