I like these kinds of documents.

Sounds good.  There are two recommendations in  that draft that should 
sound very provokative, by my understanding of this WG:

draft-iab-link-encaps-08.txt:

I mean knowing both ETHCS and IPCS are under specification this would 
sound like a need to join the two.  Or maybe separate one as ptp and the
