    Hi Acce,
    you are just not formulating your objections in the correct way. For 
example, if specification said that Tag TLV must not exceed 64 Kb in 
size that would technically put a bound but this would be both pointless 
and wouldn't satisfy you.

    Another part is why RI LSA is being singled out - why unbound data 
in, say, Network LSA is OK and unbound data in RI LSA is not? Especially 
given that RI LSA can be extended to the adjacent LSIDs and the Network 
LSA cannot.

    Tag data ARE expected to be very small and very stable, so the 
choice of RI LSA to advertise them is very reasonable.

Anton
