I think that from the QOS viewpoint, we do understand the problem very well, 
hence the proposal to add a diffserv usage to the existing intserv usage.

The intserv usage is documented and somewhat implemented, and I don't
think we can hide behind the weasel words in RFC 2460 any longer. 

I don't pretend to understand the routing handle usage (but then,
I'm of the school of thought that doesn't understand why anyone would
want MPLS either).
