I share the similar opinion with you.

If all of these are local behavior, IMO they do not need to be described in 
this draft.

OK, my point is Flex-Algo uses link constraints (color, SRLG, bandwidth 
constraint, etc.) in the FAD to associate it with a set of links, rather than 
configuring the Flex-Algo ID explicitly on the links.

Thanks for confirming that there is no intention to introduce per Flex-Algo ID 
link attributes. Taking this and the above item into consideration, I assume 
the current Flex-Algo model does not support per Flex-Algo ID based queue and 
bandwidth configuration on a link.

Agreed, removing those use cases and operation text which are not related to 
Flex-Algo interoperability would make this document simpler.
