This should be simple to resolve - the use of the SR-TE term is
out-of-alignment with other drafts, spring and idr. Suggest: Segment Routing
Traffic Engineering/s/Segment Routing Policy and SRTE/s/SR Policy.

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As Warren noted, the draft is very difficult to read.

This doesn't parse:
"As soon as the router that is an RSVP-TE head-end sees the link attribute being
   advertised for that link, it assumes RSVP-TE is enabled on that link,
   even though it is not.  If such RSVP-TE head-end router tries to
   setup an RSVP-TE path via that link it will result in the path setup
   failure."
It seems there is the assumption the link is congruent with the signaling
(maybe some implementations do but not per spec). Maybe this is needed by some
implementations, but the draft seems to make it a "general problem".

But I don't think this is really the intention of the draft - even section 4.1
says duplication would be only in "rare cases". The specific problem (to me) is
the ability to support advertisement of application specific values? And, to
say, new applications MUST NOT make use of RSVP-TE LSA advertisements which is
causing confusion for (some) implementations. It would help to make this more
clearer and not muddy with implementation woes.

I don't see any discussion on the dark bandwidth problem or the security
problems identified in RFC8426? It would be helpful if the draft pointed to the
RFC8426 solution.
