The other option is to do dot1q tunneling, so the switches have no idea
which traffic they're carrying. It makes configurations a lot simpler,
but obviously gives less control over which VLAN's are available on
which ports.

Getting *STP right in a q-in-q environment is not without its own
challenges of course.
