if the segment list is [S1, S2, S3] (where S1 is the first segment and 
S3 the final destination)

S2 is the penultimate segment and the packet is received by S2 with 
Destination Address = S2, I repeat that at the very end of section 3 of 
RFC 8200 the "Destination address" is defined as "address of the 
intended recipient of the packet (possibly not the ultimate recipient, 
if a Routing header is present)"

next the packet needs to be forwarded to S3

it is not marked in the packet, likewise it is not marked in the packet 
which SRv6 behavior is associated with a SID

Maybe someone can finally post an explanation, but until they do, I don't see how any WG Chair could assert rough consensus. An obviously organised +1+1+1+1 campaign is not consensus. I don't know about you, but when I see a message whose only content is "+1" I just delete it.
