Hi Eric,

They seem to be all “Standards Track” right now.

Yes - that would definitely satisfy my comment.

I agree. After our protracted discussion, I did see that the OSPF draft
explicitly specifies "A unique label range is allocated for each BitStream
length and Sub-domain-ID.” However, I still think it would be clearer if
the protocol draft said something like: "For example, to advertise the
labels of the BitStrings in the second example in […], four labels ranges
would be advertised, one for each unique Sub-Domain and Bit String Length
tuple.”

Thanks,
Acee
