I'm not sure what do you mean by not "well defined". For every SID you 
need to know the LOC (B+N) part. If you guarantee that it is the same on 
all nodes, you know it from the local config, otherwise, you advertise 
it with a SID.

I'm afraid you are missing an important point.

SRv6 SID is defined as LOC:FUNCT:ARG, where LOC is represented as B:N. 
To be able to find out where the func and arg are located, you need to 
know the LOC length, e.g. Block and Node length. Advertising just Func 
and Arg length does not help.

When we design the encoding, we have to define it such, that it supports 
all possible use cases. We can not design the encoding that works for 
single use case (allocate all locators from a single block) and does not 
work for others - different block from different node, multiple blocks 
on a single node (e.g. border node), which are all valid.

there are networks, where BGP is not deployed on all nodes, only on a 
few nodes that re-distribute the information to BGP-LS. In such case we 
need the IGP to distribute this data.

Argument that "it seems likely that the new End SID would also be 
advertised using the BGP IP/VPN/EVPN" is a wishful thinking that we can 
not based our encoding on.

The security use case has already been pointed out earlier in this thread:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-segment-routing-header-26#section-5

Given the arguments I mentioned above, I respectfully disagree with the 
removal of the SID Structure Sub-Sub-TLV from the ISIS SRv6 draft.

Peter
