Subject: SL.2 Allocate Label and bind it to the FEC.

Again, I'm checking my implementation againts the suggested algorithms, and
I remembered an ambiguity that I meant to ask the list.

In LDP-05 the Send_Label procedure SL.2 says:

    Allocate Label and bind it to the FEC.

Does any one else find this ambiguous?

The possibilities I have come up with:
-if both ingress and egress interfaces are FR or ATM allocate a new label.
-if a label exist in the same label space for the same fec reuse it
-create a new label no matter what

Are these acceptable?
