One of the problems of combining the specifications (which I don't think
we should do) is that it ties them all together in the standards
process.

As it stands, in order to implement the base specification, it's
somewhat implied that you're going to implement the community
and extended community ORFs.  Thankfully this isn't outright
required in the base document (if you didn't care to implement
them), but this isn't clear enough that our respective organizations
wont have a little jousting to do with comformance test vendors
that so often make our lives... interesting.
