alternatively, one could consider the endpoint of the tunnel being 
an explicit request. This makes igp tunnels the simplest form of 
source route tunnels.

Anyway, this could end up into a rhetorical discussion... 

The idea behind section 3, is to illustrate that any source routing 
mechanism spring may standardize, MUST also be able to address the 
very simple form of routing in today's networks: egress point tunnels.

Thanks.
