Ah, well, if they already do this then perhaps there doesn't need to
be
Hi Eric,
Most network providers abide by the policy that you describe. If all of their
interior links support an MTU of N, their access links support an MTU of N
minus M, where M is the highest possible encapsulation overhead.
This guarantees that MTU issues never occur on interior links.

I think in that case it's just ensuring the MTU given to the customer

I finally found some text to which I was referred, in 3GPP TS 29.060
(GTP) v15.2.0 section 13.2:
All backbone links
