As a provider of management solutions... We'd "prefer"
to have a simple solution but we MUST have a working
solution. Although the proposed change makes the
instancing a bit more complex, the getnext performance 
of the current mplsXCTable is so slow that its practically
unreadable in any reasonably sized network.

	The problem with designing in the ideal is that
real implementations will have issues with it. The
IETF generally considers implementation and deployment 
experience highly over the ideal. I have provided some 
real world feedback that indicates that a single Unsigned32 
index is insufficient. I also have about 300 customers 
that have provided me with the same feedback. I think that
it has little to do with my specific style of implementation
either (see below).
