Let's unpick a couple of things...
 
1. This work is not talking about per-flow accounting, it is talking about peer 
SR-path accounting
2. ipfix on its own does not cut it because you still have to put a marker in 
the packets
3. Yes, SR assumes there is no (i.e. zero) state per SR-path in the network
But this third point causes a tension: we want to use SR because it is good, 
but we want to do transit node diagnostics because (frankly) they are necessary.
To get the full picture of why they are necessary read the draft, or consider 
ECMP.
 
This discussion will not be unfamiliar to those who tried to debug LDP networks.
