Alia,

The first occurrence of LSE is in the second para of the introduction:

"In the event of an error
in the setting of the PW Label Stack Entry (LSE) TTL, VCCV packets"

Would you like me to leave it unexpanded there and expand it somewhere else?

In this case I think the expansion is something of a formality, since it
is difficult to image that any reader would look at this RFC without
a prior understanding of MPLS and hence knowledge of the term.
