Thanks for commenting. Looking at the tekst you are right that there is some redundancy in the text, but it's not a conflict and it does not create ambiguity. The underlying message stays the same "If you need MPLS, you need RFC 4798".

Procedural I would like to publish as is instead of going into another cycle of editing and last call. No doubt in this next cycle there will be something else and the story will continue forever. At the meeting last week I spoke to various people who really want this to become official and get the draft label removed from it, so they can refer to it in their procedures.

If there is anybody who has objections to publish the text as it's currently is, please state this clearly. I suggest we collect the editorial comments and fix them in a future version.

Ivan, are you ok with this ?
