Yes and also allow a router to implement more sophisticated queuing if 
it so chooses, e.g., mapping multiple DHCPs into a single modem queue.

Also correct.  Fundamentally this is the same as what was defined 
previously for PPPoE in RFC5578, but using a simpler on/off mechanism 
and DLEP.  DLEP is the replacement for using PPPoE for radio to router 
information.

I agree that there are two queues in series, but don't see this as 
materially different than what RFC5578 allowed or 2 routers 
interconnected over a link that supports normal Ethernet pause or PFC.  
In other words, I see that a modem that is DSCP aware must conform with 
the same requirements as a router that is DSCP aware.

At least this is my option.  Others may see it differently, e.g., Stan 
(who co-authored RFC5578 and is the doc Shepherd) or the others in the 
WG who have been working radio/router interfaces for far longer than I 
have...
