Summary: This draft is almost ready for publication as an experimental RFC.

Major issues:
     Given that Exclude Route Objects are not interleaved with include 
Objects, is there a restriction that Area IDs may only be excluded from 
paths within a single AS?

Minor issues:
     It seems a bit odd for an Experimental RFC to use "Standard" in its 
title.  As one possible solution, in parallel with the naming of the 
related TEAS draft, this could be "Domain Subobjects for Path 
Computation Engine Protocol."

     The procedure for updating AS number scope when observing an IP 
address at a PCE processing an IRO seems fragile as described.  Many of 
the real-time mechanisms for this are error prone.  I would recommend 
that a note be added that this construct be avoided in building IROs 
whenever possible.
