Tom: but MPLS could be used anywhere. It isn't designed in a way that
using
it would be dangerous.
Mmmm ... let me see
Congestion control - nil
Security - nil
Management - not much until the recent ITU-T inspired effort.
Yup, let it rip on the open Internet, no dangers there. I am sure the
IESG would agree:-)

Fred: but there will always be environments that would benefit from
special
optimizations, such as cellular or satellite or high-performance
computing.
It's reasonable for us to standardize for the special needs of those
environments too - they need interoperability and they use IP.
