Naiming,
I checked this (thanks for the pointer) I actually forgotten
that the IPR discussion was realted to this document.

The -01 version has also dated so I guess it would be a good
idea to post version -02.

What I see happening in the April -04 discussion is that the
issues from Seoul was not at all discussed (much less solved).
And further issues added (mostly the IPR, which now seems to
be solved).

I also saw very little support for the draft as such.

What concerns me here is that this is a solution without
clear requirements.

That is not to say that we don't have potential applications,
e.g. the pwe3 multihop pw's or the not via frr. Neither of those
schemes have yet been adopted as working group documents.
It is even doubtful if the mh pw's are within charter.

If there is a need to add nnhop label retrievement for
LDP, that should be brought to the MPLS working group by the
working group or party that have that need as a requirement.

In the mean time the answer is if you need to do FFR in MPLS
enabled IP networks you should use RSVP-TE.

not fuly clear that
