Yes, but my concern is that IP & MPLS may well be 'recognised' in the
network core and if something happened (e.g. Erroneous label pop) to expose
them they could be forwarded natively in error.  Other traffic types are
unlikely to have this happen as the network core is unlikely to support
natively forwarding them.
