Hi Dimitri, 

I would just like to point out that the ID is applicable to an single
area TE case as well. This is for the cases where, either a box may like
to avoid peeking into IGP database to find the Merge Point address from
the interface addresses, or IGP is not used (a non-practical case). 

In addition, as the contents/ extension in the drafts are so minor, the
WG discussions at the IETF meeting went along the line of moving forward
with this as a more generic solution (which is not a 100% tied up with
the Inter-AS/ Inter-area discussions). 

Thanks

Regards... Zafar
