The encoding is to make the full 32 bits as a flag field called "Path
Protection Association Flags (32 bits)" with IANA registry for all 32
bits. RFC 4872 also considers "PT" as flags - "LSP (Protection Type)
Flags". We expect only flags (or fields represented as flags) in this
TLV in future. In case some other data needs to be encoded we expect
another TLV to be defined for it.

I guess because of the order of importance, we could check with RFC
editor later in case they have a concern.

Thanks!
