IMO, PS would require a much more complete description of the specific
changes to RFCs 792 and 1122. I'm not sure there's a motivation for this
to go PS either - extending ICMP in general isn't sufficient. Changes to
these core docs that aren't absolutely necessary to support immediate
critical needs of _Internet_ protocols are also insufficient.

Right now, the primary motivation is to support MPLS use of ICMP. That
doesn't warrant an upheaval of Internet specs. The other motiviations
(Alia's doc) seem at best experimental at this point.

I'd suggest this go experimental until there is further standards-track
need to support Internet protocols.
