I assume the case below.
CE1--RSP(PE)---ASBR----ASBR----GSP(PE)----CE2
<------Inter-AS-TE---------><----Internal-TE--->

(interconnecting or mapping)
You mention vrf to inter-as-TE mapping at ASBR in Section5.9 but
I think that the mapping function would not be limmited to vrf cases
as a general requirement, even if any specific function might not be
needed as a result or be out of scope of this document.
Thanks for the clarification. Section 5.9 presents a requirement for case
2 of Scenario II in sec. 4.2. The Inter-AS TE tunnels are meant to be
extended virtual local loops over RSP's network which maybe terminated at
the ASBR or any PE in the GSP's network (I will update case 2 diagram to
reflect your diagram above). In other words, the inter-AS TE and
Internal-TE are essentially the same RSVP-TE tunnel.
