True, Tom. I was responding to Toeless, when he says:

"Finally wrt. architectural cleanlyness: Per-flow service negotiation IMHO is clearly a transport layer function, there is no concept of 5-tuple flows at IP layer."

I saw that Toerless just responded, so he might be saying the same thing. But constraining the idea of in-band signaling to just IPv6 ought to be more workable, although you do need to get all those intermediate routers involved. I dunno. This always seems like the Achilles heel.
