Honestly, we figured flowlabel might actually find a use before all the
values of diffserv will :) In all seriousness, we are starting to set the 
spec for v6 l3dsr now, so, if you care, and believe that flowlabel would 
be a better field to "hijack" (or have a suggestion for another, better

well, compared to an extension header, it wins hands down.
