CURRENT text is:
   Link color information SHOULD be signalled in the IGP.  How
   signalling is done is out of scope of the document but it may be
   useful to reuse existing admin-groups from traffic-engineering
   extensions or link attributes extensions like in
   [I-D.ietf-ospf-prefix-link-attr].
 
My understanding is that you are calling for removing the pointer to the 
solution (and do the same thing for the node color section) or pushing for 
solutions.

CANDIDATE1: we can limit the text to :
"Link color information SHOULD be signaled in the IGP.  " and do the same thing 
for the node color.


We would be ok for this, but, this seems like a different direction compared to 
a previous comment from Alia who had previously proposed to _add_ reference to 
solution drafts, including  ospf-prefix-link-attr:

Since you deferred to Alia, and "would rather keep the original text", our 
current understanding is to keep CURRENT text which has been revised as per 
Alia's comment.
Alia, Alvaro, please advise/propose text if this you prefer something different.

Honestly, both options point at the same thing: the suggestion (at least) of a 
solution.  I am completely in favor of reusing technology/ideas/drafts if they 
will help solve the problem.  My point is that this document is not specifying 
solutions, just requirements..if that is true, then don¹t point at the 
solutions.  OTOH, if this document is to specify solutions, then lets do that.

Having said all that, I can defer to Alia.  However, please at least make it 
clear that the solutions you are pointing to are just that (pointers).
In the text above I would rather keep the original text that clearly states 
that solutions are out of scope.  The text in 6.2.4.4 doesn¹t explicitly say 
that the solutions are not in scope.

Thanks!

Alvaro.
