Abhijit,

	In all cases where a "Propagating" variable is
set, it is passed to "Prepare_Label_Mapping_Attributes".
This argument is used in step PMpA.11 and is significant
in determining whether or not to propagate a label mapping
with a known hop-count.

	Naturally, you can use a variable with a different
name, or even a completely different approach as long as
the resulting behavior in your implementation reduces to
an equivalent of LDP defined procedures.
