KT> You are correct. There is an individual draft that is trying to bring
in this Anycast Flag for normal prefix reachabilities in both OSPFv2 and
v3: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-chen-lsr-anycast-flag-01
... this draft is introducing the Anycast flag only for SRv6 Locators.

KT> The Attached (A/LA) flag was used in RFC8666/8667 for the propagation
of SRMS advertisements. The question is if that is required or relevant for
SRv6 Locators. There is no harm/issue with introducing a new Attached flag
(even if I am not sure of its use) and renaming the current Anycast flag to
something else (e.g., AC?). But perhaps I might be missing something and if
so, please clarify.

Thanks,
Ketan
