Reading the draft quickly, here's bunch of observations

"

   An OSPF router supporting this specification MUST be able to
   advertise and interpret at least one 32-bit tag for all type of
   prefixes.  An OSPF router supporting this specification MAY be able
   to advertise and propagate multiple 32-bit tags.  The maximum tags
   that an implementation supports is a local matter depending upon
   supported applications using prefix tags.
"

Since different implementations may support different amount of tags I
see that the draft says

"
When propagating multiple tags, the order
   of the the tags SHOULD be preserved.

"

this is IMO not good enough in case where two nodes advertise same
prefix with multiple tags, possibly differing or in different order.
Some kind of ordering is necessary then as well AFAIS.


"
   This sub-TLV will carry one or more 32-bit unsigned integer values
   that will be used as administrative tags.
"

IMO behavior when none are carried nees to be specified if this is
mandated. is that a MUST in fact?


Moreover we already have a tag in OSPFv2 on type-5 and type-7 and
opaque can advertise more tags. How do those interact ?

that's it for the first

thanks
