Will add two figures for ELC TLV and RLSDC TLV respectively.

This document only describes how the ELC and RLSDC are advertised via OSPF. As for how these capabilities would be used are actually described in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label. By the way, a router doesn't need to remove the EL if the next-hop doesn't support it. The only requirement on using EL is: An ingress LSR cannot insert ELs for packets going into a given tunnel unless an egress LSR has indicated via signaling that it can process ELs on that tunnel.

Is it enough to add the following text:

"To be compatible with RFC7770, ELC and RLSDC TLVs SHOULD continue to be advertised in the first instance, i.e., 0, of the Router Information LSA."

Best regards,
Xiaohu
