Ralph, As far as I can tell this seems to describe some sort of a Layer 2 stateful per-flow QoS mechanism using new Ethertype headers. As such I don't see why the IETF would care. The point of it escapes me, since we have plenty of reason to believe that such solutions are impractical and do not scale, but that doesn't seem like our problem.
I only looked at this to check if it impacted current work in 6MAN on the IPv6 Flow Label, and there doesn't appear to be any impact or relevance.
