Bruno, SPRING,

I am aware of at least one implementation that makes heavy use of Binding
SIDs, so I do not think that this is something that we can remove from the
protocol specification. It seems to me that we have a number of cases that
continue to exist that make it useful to have them specified, particularly:

   - Binding of a SID to a deeper label stack to prevent there being large
   label stacks required on ingress. This is required due to limited push
   depth, and limited readable label depths for hashing.
   - Re-use of some other protocol's or network's forwarding path by a
   device that is imposing an SR label stack.

There is not an alternative construct that can be used for this purpose, so
we should not remove it.

In both of these cases there seems, to me, to be a use case for having the
information in the IGP in the case that an implementation computes TE paths
using cSPF, having binding SID information available to it (along with the
ERO) enables it to reduce the label stack depth by finding binding SIDs
that follow the same path as the computed ERO. Without the ERO (which might
not be an RSVP-TE ERO, but I believe that it how it was first envisaged)
how can the head-end of an TE path know what path the advertised Binding
SID takes? It's fine to punt this and say "the PCE in the sky will know" -
however, I believe SPRING's charter doesn't limit the technology to only
centralised computation of paths.

I don't believe current demand for this is a good reason to remove it from
the protocol specification - it is still somewhat early days for folks
deploying TE based on SR - where I think the Binding SID concept is most
important.
