Hopefully this will be discussed at the coming IETF meeting.  Obviously,
most people seem to have a position on how to do it since they are
or soon will be shipping it in their production router code.  I think
most of the vendors are pursuing the approach Van Jacobsen has taken
for 4.3 Reno.  

I know you folks are very sharp, and I'm sure the IETF would love to hear
how you would choose to implement it!  I have my own views, but I'm
not a vendor and don't have a good feel for the support issues.
