The OverlayLinkTypes that reload includes are all message-oriented
protocols.  It's up to the usage defining the application-id to
indicate what is actually passed in these messages.  e.g. the sip
usage specifies SIP messages for application-id 5060.

Beyond the application-id, I don't think it's the role of an IETF
draft to specify how that is presented to the upper layers, though a
usage has to specify what is on the wire clearly enough that
compatible implementations can be written, obviously.
