Peter/Acee,

Lets assume 1.1.1.1 is advertised by two nodes A and B.
A assigns a SID 10 :algo 200
B assigns SID 10: algo 201

According to conflict resolution draft section 3.4 SID conflicts
Will be examined for algorithms and smallest algo wins
So remote nodes will program nexthops for SID 10 based on algo 200.

I think this case is addressed in conflict resolution draft. 
It would be better to handle all the conflict situation in conflict resolution 
draft
Rather than putting different pieces in different drafts.

prefix can have SIDs for many algorithms. Prefix-SID for one algorithm is 
independent and orthogonal to prefix-SID for any other algorithm.

There is no need for all sources of the multi-homed prefix to include the same 
set of Algo-SIDs. Each source can advertise an independent set.

The case is similar to Alg-0 SID, where prefix is advertised from two different 
sources and one source advertise the Alg-0 SID and other does not.

thanks,
Peter
