Hi Tim, 

Thanks for the detailed review and comments. Please see replies inline:

Thanks for catching this. In the latest update (v-07), we have changed the text to "In AS1, the SRv6 Policy on PE1 for (ASBR11, C1)..."

Thanks for catching this nit. In the description of SID lists, we have replaced "()" with "<>".

The encapsulation follows the logic in RFC 8986.

Taking (PE1, P1)(PE3:CL1.DT6, ASBR11; SL=2)(C-pkt) as an example, it is an IPv6 packet with PE1 as SA, P1 as DA, and (PE3:CL1.DT6, ASBR11; SL=2) is the SRH with SID list < ASBR11, PE3:CL1.DT6>. 

The C-pkt is the inner customer packet received from the attaching CE. We've added one sentence to clarify this. Hope it is clear now. 

Best regards,
Jie
