[[Med]] The L3NM focuses on what is required to be provisioned at the PE side. 
As such, we are not directly touching a CE.

[[Med]] Agree, but we restricted the scope on purpose to what can be actually 
passed by the service request: Please see 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8299#section-6.3.2.2.1

[[Med]] These are really out of scope. The focus is on aspects that are widely 
used in current deployments and that can be requested by means of the L3SM 
(RFC8299). Advanced features may be added in the future by augmenting this 
module. Please note that given the large set of technical component that we are 
touching, we had to make a decision about the usability of the module vs. 
exhaustiveness of supported capabilities.

[[Med]] This element is inherited from RFC8299 (L3SM). We prefer to maintain 
the same name to ease the mapping between a service (L3SM) and the network 
instantiation of the service (L3NM). As you can see in RFC8299, the description 
talks about addresses, but that's not correct for IPv6 as we reason in term of 
prefixes hence the updated description in the draft.

[[Med]] When PD is enabled, 'local-address' and 'prefix-length' will be used to 
control the pool and the delegated prefix length. However, enabling that 
functionality is not supported in this version because of the scope we set for 
the document: what can be passed by a service request (L3SM).

[[Med]] Good catches. Fixed all for them.
