It's a _PDB_ definition actually, so the document describes which PHBs
could be used (cf. RFC 3086). It doesn't need to make any suggestion 
or recommendation for a DSCP value (which may be appropriate for a PHB 
definition).

          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No, that's not true: CS1 doesn't conflict with AF1x. 
You'll ask: Why not? (It has been said so many times before:) 
DSCPs have no structure, so CS1=001000 is not in AF1x={001010,001100,001110}
(you should never apply any bit mask to the DSCP, because all six bits
must be considered). RFC2474, sec 4.2.2.1:
   The DS field values of 'xxx000|xx', or DSCP = 'xxx000' and CU
   subfield unspecified, are reserved as a set of Class Selector
   Codepoints.

Just my clarification,
