Please add: intent-aware routing as keyword.

Thanks for catching this. Maybe the second sentence could be rephrased as:  

New: 
  In MPLS-based networks, the usual inter-domain approach is to establish an 
end-to-end Label-Switched Path (LSP) based on the mechanism as defined in 
[RFC8277] (which is usually referred to as BGP-LU).

Yes, that change looks good.

The IPv6 unicast AFI/SAFI is the combination of AFI =2 for IPv6 and SAFI = 1 
(allocated by IANA) for unicast forwarding, and the mechanism for IPv6 unicast 
routing is specified in RFC 2545. It is an relatively old RFC and there is no 
IANA considerations section. 

How about rephrasing the text as:

New:

  In a multi-AS IPv6 network, the mechanism for IPv6 unicast routing as defined 
in [RFC2545] is used for the advertisement of the Colored Prefix routes, in 
which the Address Family/Subsequent Address Family (AFI/SAFI = 2/1) is used.

The first bullet means "SRv6 Policy or SR-MPLS policy", and the second bullet 
means "SRv6 Flex-algo or SR-MPLS Flex-Algo". Maybe a better approach is to list 
each of them separately. 

New:
   The intra-domain color-aware path could be built with any of the following 
mechanisms:
   *  SRv6 Policy
   *  SR-MPLS Policy
   *  SRv6 Flex-Algo
   *  SR-MPLS Flex-Algo
   *  RSVP-TE

The updated text looks good, thanks.

It should be the tunnel which spans across multiple ASes. The updated text 
looks good.

It is the CPR route which can fall back to resolve over best-effort 
intra-domain path. 

New:

  ...while the CPR routes can fall back to resolve over best-effort 
intra-domain paths in the legacy autonomous systems.

Please use "Colored Prefix", or "Colored Prefixes" for plural.

Please use the latter one, thanks.

After checking I believe the current text is OK in this aspect.
