Hi Andrew, My personal opinion is that with below you are now going way outside of what should be discussed on IETF mailing lists. Hope SPRING charis will address it. IETF is not the right forum for any vendor implementation discussion regardless if this is Cisco, Juniper, Arrcus, Nokia etc .... I recommend you move it to -nsp lists.
If standards or drafts are not clear you are welcome to ask questions on those. Any implementation is a private choice of given vendor and in no way should influence WG decision in regards of the choices we make in protocol design. If you think that some implementations violate standards or even WG drafts you are more then welcome to propose specific questions to the implementation reports which chairs would be normally more than happy to include in the process and ask or even enforce all vendors to fill the blanks. Regards, Robert.
