The provider already has the necessary tools that can be used to
accomplish this.  If a general purpose tool (attributes and
affinities) is available which accomplishes something a special
purpose tool to accomplish the same thing is not needed.

Such a tool would only be useful if the administration of the MPLS
midpoint (where the attribute is set) had no control over the
administration of the MPLS ingress or a border that is doing route
computation (where the affinity is set).  I don't see any anticipated
real world deployment that would benefit from this.  If you do, then
please explain the deployment scenario.
