[Lsr] clarification of locator block and locator node in draft-ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming and draft-ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions

[Chris Bowers <[e-mail]>]

 SPRING and LSR WGs,

and locator node in either draft-ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming or
draft-ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions.  See original email below.

Thanks,
Chris
