Sasha,

hmmm - the MPLS wg pubished RFC 6348, that is a requirement document,
so in itself it has not been implemented or deployed; even if you can
problably make the argument that specification fulfilling the
requirements has.

I think that making a document is because we want it to available in
the future.
