I still don't understand why the vendors cannot make it work in one direction only (the low-end platform would only 
need to remove an extra label, no need to inspect traffic).
That would help us a lot, since the majority of our traffic is downstream to the customer.
It is signalled separately for TX and RX and some vendors do allow you
to signal it separately.

Yep, the RFC gives this option.
Does Juniper MX/ACX series support it?
I know for sure Cisco doesn't.
