[Les:] I strongly agree with Peter (and disagree with you).
Why would we want to risk having an incorrect section reference to a document 
which is still being revised? This needlessly introduces a dependency such that 
if the section numbering changes in the SR-MPLS draft we would then have to 
update the dependent document(s).
Note this has nothing to do with the SID overlap discussion itself. The 
compelling reason to NOT discuss this in the IGP documents but simply refer to 
the document that defines the solution is so that whatever the outcome in 
SPRING the IGP documents do not also have to be changed.
