My concerns are as follows:

- it seems fine to support multiple encaps, but it's not clear whether
any of the existing encapsulation protocols CAN be "fixed" by OAM
- IMO, the WG shouldn't waste time trying to fix this all

I.e., I would suggest that:

- any encaps that is desired and sufficiently useful should be supported
BUT any deficiencies should be noted, rather than wasting time trying to
"fix" them
- any work on a new encaps needs to be preceded by a requirements doc
that explains what is needed and why; the summary of issues with
existing encaps protocols seems like a list of preferences, not strict
requirements
