I thought draft-ietf-mpls-diff-ext-07 had something to do with
this and went to last call.  :-)

Isn't there a diff-serv WG that does something along these lines?  :-)

Not for very long.  When draft-ietf-mpls-diff-ext-07 is coded and
available in product you won't.

QoS using IP prec or DSCP is in FCS product from numerous vendors
today and (at least one, maybe all) can support CBR service including
very low jitter.  (on severely congested links, not just where
bandwidth is overprovisioned).
