So this doesn't get lost, here comments I sent to the authors before starting
IETF last call...

>    The Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile is the common set
>    of MPLS protocol functions defined to enable the construction and
>    operation of packet transport networks.  The MPLS-TP supports both
>    point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transport paths.  This
>    document defines the elements and functions of the MPLS-TP
>    architecture applicable specifically to supporting point-to-
>    multipoint transport paths.
