	Sorry, I live in the real-world. How many implimentations
	ignore IP? What is the percentage of non-IP networks? And
	yes, their are always exceptions to the rule and we should
	be aware of them.

	We are discussing real world implimentations against
	the archs, not possible implimentations that don't
	exist...

	However, yes I do think it somewhat beneficial to specify
	the CURRENT implimentations are not necessarily limited
	by the archs and that a future implimentaions ?MAY? remove
	these limitiations..

	Enough said by me on this thread, MPLS is here and their
	are pros and cons to using it....
