My impression of the draft is that handling of BGP NH and address from
Tunnel Encap attribute is different. BGP NH is tracked in RIB and
recursivery resolved, could be used to daisy-chain encapsulation in RIB
(section 7). In contrast, the address from the Tunnel attribute is just
passed to FIB as encapsulation action argument.

But it is true that this part of the draft is a bit blurry and would
definitely need more clear wording.
