Re: I want to revise RFC2784 (so it doesn't depend on IEEE number space)

[David Meyer <dmm@cisco.com>]

	I guess the objective is to make GRE a little more useful
	to new protocols. If that is not a sound objective, then
	it is likley that not useful to try something like I propose 
	(for example, if there is a more appropriate/better encapsulation, 
	etc).
