Hey mark!

 ml> proposals cannot become standards until they are in widespread use

How many more years?  I seem to recall hacking 2.2 in order to exchange pkts
with an upstream node around a decade ago or so.  As per what I posted
regarding that type is more or less what I've been using all these years except
I had to make some blind changes to get it to work with a more recent link. 
However seeing that type 2 works with it, and is documented - albiet not called
type 2 in the standard - I'd be inclined to make that the default.  That seems
to be the wisest move.  No?

Anyhow, I'll hold off for now as I hate to break a working system, despite
'working' being a relative term.  :-/

Life is good,
Maurice
