Therefore communication between PQ and PLR regarding PQ capabilities should/may be done using node tag.  RLFA spec could have defined an IANA registered node tag to be used by PQ (configured by the network operator) to exclude them as PQ candidate. e.g. for PQ node not accepting T-LDP session or nodes which should not be used as PQ per policy.

why is "IANA registered node tag" any better then IANA registered 
capability bit in the above case?

thanks,
