[Les:] The document is an IS-IS document. Such a statement is therefore 
unnecessary.

[Les:] Would you be satisfied with the corresponding text in the OSPF document?

" any other value represents that of the particular link when used as an 
outgoing
   interface."

[Les:] I have answered this twice already. :-)

[Les:] I will align w the equivalent OSPF text in the next revision.
