After some local difficulty, I've posted to the pppext list a separate
draft.  If somebody points me at another WG list, I'll post it there too.

I'd be reasonably content to have the TRILL PPP draft reference my draft
for resolution of the issue.  Then, it can be discussed as many places
as needed.  As it is very simple and builds on existing standard's track
protocols, I doubt that it's contentious.
