Hi,

A long time in gestation. Moral: ADs and Chairs and Kireetis are always too busy to focus on real work.

This revision intends to address all WG last call comments. Please shout if we have messed up.

The changes are...

- Note in Abstract about updated RFCs.
- Minor changes to 3.1 per Mach Chen.
- New section 3.1.1 after discussion with Curtis.
- Clarify the IANA policy for the reserved extended special purpose labels per Maria.
- Clarification in 3.1 per Alia and Eric.
- Drop Note 3 from the IANA Considerations per Curtis.
- Introduce acronyms XL and ESPL per Curtis.
- Add note on rate-limiting logs to Section 6.
- Typos
- Added Acknowledgements

Chairs, we believe this is now complete.

Adrian

> Abstract:
>    Some MPLS labels have been allocated for specific purposes.  A block
>    of labels (0-15) has been set aside to this end, and are commonly
>    called "reserved labels".  They will be called "special purpose
>    labels" in this document.
> 
>    As there are only 16 of these special purpose labels, caution is
>    needed in the allocation of new special purpose labels, yet at the
>    same time allow forward progress when one is called for.
> 
>    This memo defines new procedures to follow in the allocation and
>    retirement of special purpose labels, as well as a method to extend
>    the special purpose label space.  Finally, this memo renames the IANA
>    registry for these labels to "Special Purpose MPLS Label Values", and
>    creates a new one called the "Extended Special Purpose MPLS Label
>    Values" registry.
> 
>    This document updates a number of previous RFCs that used the term
>    "reserved label".
