Jouni,

Mostly looks very good, the thing I don't understand is why you still 
say that the L-label is optional, it really isn't.

- we need it to deliver the d-pw label unchanged
- since we can't guarantee that the "P" nodes are not able to do
   DetNet NSP, we can't set up the d-pw label with signaling that
   exposes the "request for DetNet NSP/FRER" to P nodes.
- needed for protection
- the end-to-end tunnel must be the innermost tunnel, carrying
   pw label

There is one case, if two DA-*-PEs are immediately adjacent, there the
L-lable will be an implicit NULL label and not appear in the stack, but
for the control plane it is there.
