COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The current problems originate from the way in which routers are required to
action a Router Alert. I understand this I-D does not change any existing RFC,
but seeks to restrict usage in new specifications. Thank you, it is well
written.

Note: It is a little sad that the I-D does not offer an alternative to identify
packets sent by future protocols (such as protocols operating like RSVP would
in future be identified in a network that wished to use this type of signalling
to nodes on the path), this is presumably part of any future work.
