Leaving the TLV header alone in this draft will provide the
necessary frame work. Else, defining outside and mapping the
pre-allocated v4/v6 types, will appear more like a hack. Since,
Pasi's comment was more specific to GRE, not sure if it was
about the TLV alone, as there is much text required for TLV
nego, or for describing the TLV format, thats already there in
the draft.
