I was getting ready  to send her comments on that when  it was brought to my
attention that she had removed the changes.  No change to the Address Prefix
FEC is  necessary.  (I wrote the original  text for section 2.1,  and it was
always  my  intention that  the  Host Address  FEC  be  optional and  easily
removable,  as I  always thought  it was  a  bad idea  and had  no plans  to
implement it.)

I think you mean that I can access the document with one click ;-)

I believe that the liaison statement  is really requesting a codepoint in an
IETF protocol,  to be used  for a purpose  which is specified in  a non-IETF
document.  This is no different than any other attempt by non-IETF groups to
extend IETF protocols, and I believe  the usual process for that involves an
internet-draft, as well as review within the IETF.
