First, I really feel the pain you had to deal with this draft,
if that makes you feel any better. Its incredible, how many
issues hit this draft at each level. Totally understand your
efforts and that this needs to move.

On this specific issue, my point is that if GRE is underspecified,
lets not define the GRE type. But, I dont know why its any issue
to have to that TLV, just as 3519, CAPWAP or any tunnel have
headers, its just payload qualifier, for which you already have
the text. But, we dont have argue on this, I go with the consensus.

I'm only afraid, we take this out from here, this will never see
the day of the light. If there are some thoughts, on where it will
go and that there will be no issues moving it to the other draft,
that will help and will also not affect the long reached earlier
consensus, phone calls ..etc. Again, please reconsider keeping
the TLV, I dont see any reason how that will help moving it out,
moving GRE, I can understand, but TLV, not sure. My 2c.
