Summary:

I believe the draft is technically good. This document is well written.

The document updates RFC8287 by clarifying the length for the following Segment
ID Sub-TLVs: IPv4 IGP-Prefix Segment ID Sub-TLV, IPv6 IGP-Prefix Segment ID
Sub-TLV and IGP-Adjacency Segment ID Sub-TLV.

There are some minor issues detailed below that should be addressed.

Major issues: Not found

Minor issues:

1- Section 3 - Requirements notation is not complete, it should be added:  "NOT
RECOMMENDED" and "...are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119]
[RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here."

2- Figure of Section 4.2: Type = 35 (IPv4 IGP-Prefix SID) ---> Type = 35 (IPv6
IGP-Prefix SID)

2.1- It would be nice if the figures have a caption where we can point to the
figure number, and the figure number is referenced in the text. The same for
the table of Section 4.3.

3- Question: What do you think?

I think it would be nice to explain a bit more the length for the different
combinations of the table of Section 4.3, e.g. with tables as detailed below:
