Well, indeed.
 
This is why I was scratching away at whether this is a proposal for a generic
OAM encapsulation.

AFAICS the devil is in the detail of the encapsulation/forwarding/switching
mechanism and a lot of the information that has to be encoded will be different.
So, will this proposal lead to more than a set of TLVs that would be filled out
for different use cases?

It *might* be that it would be more useful to identify the target us cases (i..,
those that people want to build and deploy now) and work on those.
