It looks like our approaches are slightly different. I like to  
include all the information that could be useful in the protocol; you  
seem to favor a more sparse approach.

My philosophy is "overdesign and underimplement": make the design as  
complete as possible and then implement only those parts that you  
really need. This works a lot better than the other way around.  
Partially for this reason, I'm going to keep all of the mechanisms  
(except the switch advertisement) around but make as much of it  
optional as possible. Also, it's easier to discuss the merits of a  
protocol mechanism when that mechanism is laid out in the draft. We  
can then see if there is more that can be removed later on.
