Hi Les,

If I understand it correctly, the MSD concept was originated from 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-11#page-7) as 
described below:

"The "Maximum SID Depth" (1
   octet) field (MSD) specifies the maximum number of SIDs (MPLS label
   stack depth in the context of this document) that a PCC is capable of
   imposing on a packet."

Before considering expanding the semantics of the MSD concept as defined in the 
above PCE-SR draft, how about first considering renaming the capability of 
imposing the maximum number of labels so as to eliminate possible confusions, 
e.g., Writable Label-stack Depth (WLD) as opposed to the Readable Label-stack 
Depth (RLD) as defined in 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ospf-mpls-elc) and 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-isis-mpls-elc) ?

Best regards,
Xiaohu
