Thank you for the detailed review and sorry for a very late response. I am
creating a revision of the draft based on this feedback.
Responses and clarifications inline @SB

[SB] Agreed. Will change to MUST in the revision.

[SB] Will refer to RFC 9197 for the definition of IOAM.

[SB] This was an important consideration for implementation and deployment
that came
up during the workgroup discussions. Would renaming the sesion to
deployment and implementation
considerations work?

[SB] Added text to this effect.

[SB] This is not addressed in the current draft. A future draft could add
IOAM field to indicate the AS that added the IOAM data.

[SB] done.

[SB] The deployment options elaborates this option, it is difficult to
summarize that and add it as part of the requirement.
I would prefer to keep this context in the deployment options section.
