Dear Authors, et. al,
I think that Section 3.3.3 MPLS-TP should clarify that use of Control Plane in MPLS-TP networks is optional, not "not required" as currently stated. And since GMPLS RSVP-TE and T-LDP are signaling protocols for MPLS-TP LSP and MPLS-TP PW respectively all gaps for IPv6 identified for both are equally applicable in MPLS-TP networks.
I think that MPLS-TP OAM section will likely to give review of impact of IPv6 only control network addressing on Data Plane, i.e. Source MEP ID TLV in CV, but on OAM configuration by RSVP-TE and LSP Ping. In addition need to review:
*       MPLS-TP Linear Protection (with PSC);
   *    1:n
   *    at least mention, shared protection
   *    Ring Protection

        Regards,
                Greg
