it is to be used iff reversion is not governed by control
and setup during provisioning - ok this i understand 

what i do not is the properly catch is this setup of the 
remote data plane endpoint, but which specific config is 
this ? in part in the PBB-TE context ?

you ask for both support and use of the V-bit and WTR timer in the 
doc - right ? the fact the WTR is mandatory removes the needed for
a dedicated bit. you can even have something like:
0b0000 enable (using local configured timer)
0b1111 disable 
0b0001-0b1110 enable with the signaled timer.

this should also solve the below problem entirely assuming the WTR
timer goes before LSP flags.
