Something similar has already been tried: extended label types, as
described in RFCs 2671 and 2673.

I wasn't really around when the failure of this experiment was
recognized.  Is there a write-up somewhere explaining why this doesn't
work as expected?  (Without major protocol surgery, increasing the
label length would share a similar fate.)
