Well indeed the draft is very underspecified in this space.

The fun starts when next hop from NLRI is unreachable while tunnel end
point is. Does it mean that given path is not going to be considered for
best path selection ?

And we can go further ... say bgp uses selective next hops and is set to
only consider /24 and higher and NH from NLRI does not meet those criteria
... but tunnel endpoint is reachable over default route - what happens then
?

See what strikes me the most is the mandatory nature of endpoint TLV and no
good description of various cases when NH in NLRI != Tunnel endpoint
address. If there are equal tunnel endpoint may be optional.

Thx,
R.
