Should we split the issue up?
1) blessing/permission/exception to reset flow label within an LLN,
   (which would include simply setting it to zero so it can be compressed
   out)

2) a document on how to compress 6553 HbH into ?flow-label vs ?6lo-HC.

   I am not enthusiastic about multiple ways.
   We will have an existing problem of figuring out 6553 vs new-way,
   and also noting that some nodes will needed to continue to speak 6553
   on some links anyway (backhaul ethernet).


    >> it mentions ISA100.11a only in the introduction.)

My understanding is that ISA100.11a uses the flow label to pick a path,
but not in a way that involves rewritting it on each hop in the LLN.
Please correct me if I'm wrong; it seems that document (1) is needed to
retro-actively bless ISA100.11a usage :-)

[I'm writing this on a rainy Saturday afternoon, at a friend's house,
playing 1st Ed AD&D, and my two characters are unconcious... so when I use
the term "bless"... you'll understand the context]
