ditto.

P.S. Is it reasonable to expect that an IP protocol number (or two, including multicast) will be allocated for this purpose? Just how popular does a protocol need to be to merit one of these?

In support of work going on in PPVPN and PWE3, it is desirable to have some
standards for encapsulating MPLS packets inside IP packets. The draft whose
announcement I attach below is the result of merging two previous (but
expired) documents, draft-worster-mpls-in-ip, and draft-rekhter-mpls-over-
gre. I would like to present this for the consideration of the MPLS WG as a
standards track document.
