Fine grained labels are specified in draft-ietf-trill-fine-labeling-07,
which is an approved standard track draft in the RFC Editor's
queue. Adding a reference to it here would be good.

There are no explicit requirements. Incremental changes and
improvements are generally handed with capability bits or the
presence/absence of data strucutres in control messages. A version
change would probably indicate a pretty major modification but, since
these version numbers are within IS-IS TLVs, I would say that
implicitly the intent is to stay with the IS-IS PDU structure for the
control plane.

Thanks,
Donald
