According to the description about mapping servers (see below) which is in -01 
version of the use case draft but is removed in -02 version of that draft, it 
seems that the mapping server is deemed to advertise the mappings on behalf of 
non-SR-capable routers. In contrast, my draft proposes to allow the mapping 
server to allocate and advertise mappings on behalf of SR-capable routers. 
Those two distinct design goals cause different implications on the 
implementation and usage.

   "The mappings advertised by an SR mapping server result from local
   policy information configured by the operator.  IF PE3 had been SR
   capable, the operator would have configured PE3 with node segment
   103.  Instead, as PE3 is not SR capable, the operator configures that
   policy at the SRMS and it is the latter which advertises the 
mapping."---quoted from -01 version of the use case draft.

If I understand your draft correctly, the prefix SID sub-TLV defined in your 
draft is intended to advertise index, rather than SID or global label. In 
contrast, the Label Binding Sub-TLV and SID Binding Sub-TLV defined in my draft 
are intended to advertise global labels and SIDs respectively. Besides, the 
Label Binding Sub-TLV and SID Binding sub-TLV are just intended for label or 
SID distribution without any correlation with the algorithm and MT-ID, which is 
different from the prefix SID sub-TLV, IMHO.

Agree that it may not be attractive in the OSPF case. However, this choice may 
be attractive in the IS-IS case since the label/SID request information can be 
carried in the IP reachability advertisement. Anyway, as said in the draft, the 
advertisement of label/SID request is just one option.
