Basically I'm looking for the kind of substance that one could use to
implement the protocol; reading this draft I just don't have that
information.  Perhaps the best example is in section 4.1, "Attribute
Negotiation"; there is only some very vague text about failing
negotiations if the label format is unrecognized, no concrete details
about how to deal with recognized label formats with invalid and/or
unauthorized labels.  I could go on, but hopefully this is enough to
demonstrate my point.
