WG,

I've republished the the draft-ietf-mpls-cosfield-def after
wg last call.

The following changes has been made:

Rajiv has been added as an author, since that is how thins
are

the former EXP field are now call Traffic Class field as per
earlier consensus

we have reserved the name T-LSP, with the same meaning as E-LSP

a lot of smaller editorial changes made

We have not change name of the file, it is still
draft-ietf-mpls-cosfield-def.

To my co-chair, this should be ready to send to the IESG :)
