Dear Loa, MPLS WG Chairs, Open DT, et al.,
I believe that re-using ELI to address the requirements listed in
draft-ietf-mpls-miad-mna-requirements will definitely break implementations
of RFC 6790 and RFC 8662. Thus I oppose re-using ELI to indicate the
presence of an MNA in a packet. I think that the specifics of the mechanism
indicating the presence of an MNA should be discussed separately from the
framework document.

Regards,
Greg
