Hi Sasha

Thank you for your comments however I do not understand the point that you are 
making at (5) in your analysis regarding the conflict between Section 5.2 and 
Section 5.3. Please could you explain?

In some ways the “rules” in section 5 overcomplicate the description of the 
solution.

The solution could be simply stated as

1) Compute the PC path from PLR to destination.
2) Create an SR path from PLR to destination using adjacency segments

At this point the job is done and everything else is an optimisation:

3) If desired optimise the number of segments.
4) How step (3) is done is entirely within the remit of the implementor but the 
pre-SR techniques we evolved and which described in Section 5 may be of some 
use.

I other words we do not need to consider section 5 as rules, just helpful hints 
since technically we have a solution at step (2)
