Robert,

I don't understand your point. Isn't the underlying idea here to use
SR to source route a packet through a domain? I don't see why an outer
source address of a tunnel is relevant for that. Also, I'd point out
that encapsulation is hardly a new concept. It is well deployed in
various forms and many network services have already adapted to its
use.

It's not just about being cleaner, there are questions about
correctness that need to be addressed.
