Speaking as WG chair: 

My recollection is that there were few that wanted the Big-TLV solution as it 
offered no advantages over the currently deployed multi-part TLV solution. 

I don’t see that adding an identifier changes the prior consensus and, if 
anything, makes the Big-TLV more complex and costly to implement and test.

Since my implementation and deployment experience is primarily in OSPFv(2|3) 
I’d appreciate those with more IS-IS experience (both implementation and 
deployment) to chime in. 

Thanks,
Acee
