I'm long overdue on this draft, but I would support its adoption if the
authors could comment on the perceived scenario for using this functionality
for offramping (redirect) instead of simply rate-limit/drop.  For those
technologies, it seems like a different mechanism for remotely distributing
802.* service mechanisms may be worth considering.

A final comment to the authors and IDR: Please consider requesting a
different extended community code point than the 0x80 registry.  Eric just
got done cleaning up the thing - let's not anchor anything else under
"experimental" unless it's really an experiment. :-)
