We are trying to prevent that.  We are trying to figure out how we can relax 
the cases where the specifications imply, but do not clearly state that a TLV 
may occur multiple times. If some nodes are not prepared for that, then they 
would misinterpret the advertisements, perceive different information content, 
and misbehave. What are the necessary and sufficient precautions to prevent 
this?


> And a standardization group defining specifications to allow for interop?


In particular, how do we propagate information to know which nodes are capable 
of correctly interpreting multi-part TLVs?

Chris is not asking for an implementation report, nor is that what I’m working 
on.
