Definition of the P bit will look like:

P: The P-bit is the Next Protocol bit. When this bit is set to
1, Nonce length, when used, is limited to 16 bits and the lenght
      of the Source and Destination Map-Version fields, when used, is limited
      to 8 bits. Refer to[draft-lewis-lisp-gpe] for more details.
      The P-bit is set to 1to indicate the presence of the 8 bit Next Protocol field encoded as:



Do you think the overall proposed extension makes sense?

Thanks,
Fabio

The use of the P-bit is not compatible with the Map-Versioning feature, but an equivalent function can be specified (if needed) with a Next-Protocol shim header. I can add text to the LISP-GPE draft to reflect that.
Well it could be. Just like you did with the Nonce field. Make the Version field the middle 16-bits. So V and P can be set at the same as well as N and P.

Good point, shortening versions to 8 bits...

Seems fine to me.
