Steve 
Thanx, I tend to look at matters from a pesimistic perspective at times. My
questions are rarely about the operational likelihood and randomly
accidental factors(unless mis-configuration comes into view) but often I
focus on the malicious and intentional. Then the questions turn to loss
factor and mitigation.
Sorry for bugging you guys .

Hi Will,

Whether an RRO can fit into a Path/Resv message is dependent on a
combination of various factors including, for example, large private
objects. However, at this point, it appears that the likelihood of such
a
scenario is low.
