Can you tell us where MPLS-in-GRE/IP [RFC4023] and other MPLS over IP encapsulation mechanisms have been discussed before?

Since MPLS-in-UDP is just intended to be used in the scenarios where MPLS-in-GRE/IP has been used and is to be used, MPLS-in-UDP should be discussed in the same WG where MPLS-in-GRE/IP has been discussed.
