[mpls] A BNF specification for RSVP-TE

["Adrian Farrel" <adrian at olddog.co.uk>]

Hi,

This draft provides a specification of the BNF we already use in RSVP-TE and 
makes it available for use in future RSVP-TE extensions.

I intend asking that this draft progress in the standards process relatively 
soon.

Please review and comment as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Adrian
