(speaking as a WG member trying to understand this exchange.)

Having two codes, one for NEXT-ONLY-CSID and one for NEXT-CSID seems odd.
[PC] Those are two different packet processing, and hence two different SRv6 Endpoint Behavior values from IANA.
In terms of what the node does with packets addressed to SIDs with the given behavior, they seem to be the same.
[PC] No they are not. NEXT-ONLY only processes the ::/64 of the 4.1.1; whereas NEXT-CSID processes both. Perhaps this can be clarified in further revisions.
So if I understand properly, the different is an implication about the existence of SIDs for this node with other behaviors?  But wouldn't receivers determine such behavior being available from the advertisements of those behaviors?
[PC] Not sure I follow these two, but I don't think its correct.
  If there are no other advertised (compressed?) behaviors, wouldn't that tell you everything you need to know.  
If there are such other advertiements, but 42 (NEXT-ONLY-CSID) is advertised what would that mean?  
[PC] That you are only capable of doing the shifting operation.
And conversely, if there are no other advertised relevant behaviors, what would it mean to advertise 43 (NEXT-CSID)?
[PC] That you are capable of processing the whole 4.1.1. We will clarify this in future revisions.

Yours,
Joel
