Not all SPs are ISPs.  The audience for IETF documents is not restricted
to ISPs.

ISPs wishing to provide MPLS VPN services may find the L2 approach of the
Kompella draft more attractive.  Dedicated MPLS VPN SPs may find the L3
approach of the Rosen draft more attractive.  The difference in environments
for each dictates engineering preferences, but does not invalidate
preferences in other environments.

In summary: Can't we all just get along?
