Hi Jeff, 

sorry, I hit the return key too early by accident. I had two additional
remarks (see inline).

See also RFC 2597:
7. Interactions with Other PHB Groups

   The AF codepoint mappings recommended above do not interfere with the
   local use spaces nor the Class Selector codepoints recommended in
   [Nichols].

Therefore, Class Selector Codepoints have always 000 in the lower three 
bits, so they do not interfere with any recommended AF DSCP values.

 Roland
