1) if i read this right, it is a way for one lsr to ask another
   lsr to test the first lsr's data path -- "can someone tell
   me if i am working ok?". _if_ my interpretation is right
   (and it is monday morning and not all the little gray cells
   are at 100% efficiency yet), it seems that this is a fundamentally
   stupid thing that the ietf should be standardizing, etc.

2) regardless of point 1, it looks like there are various bits of
   processing that have to happen here; but there is no talk
   about metering/prioritizing/etcing this traffic, leaving open
   a potential dos avenue.  the security considerations section
   seems to hint at this (recommending that loopback labels
   be shared among trusted neighbors only).

   aside, this last comment _also_ opens a huge can of worms;
   who is trusted? how do i know? what filtering/etcing is needed
   to make the right things happen?
