Authors/WG,
    I'm a bit uncomfortable with the document's use of FEC in the
context if RSVP-TE.  RFC3209's usage of FEC is very loose and rfc4379
only gives an indirect definition in one context.  I think that either
the draft should avoid the term or it should point to a to be written
formal definition of the term in the context of RSVP-TE (including in
its GMPLS form).

Thoughts?

Lou (with any / all hats)
