Regarding the interoperability issue specifically, one option would be to add to Section "4.  Protocol Implications" something like ...

  Protocol extensions could have impact on existing PCEP deployments and the interoperability between different implementations. It is anticipated that changes of the PCEP protocol or addition of information elements could require additional testing to ensure interoperability between different PCEP implementations.

Does this make sense? Or do I miss something?
