	the API for traffic class field is merged into 2292bis.  see 2292bis
	for exact wording i've put in.  basically ECN bits specified by user
	can be overridden by the kernel, if the kernel implements ECN
	mechanism (like for TCP).

	i stopped updating draft-itojun-ipv6-flowlabel-api-01.txt as there were
	a lot of discussions on flowlabel semantics, like
	draft-ietf-ipv6-flow-label-03.txt.
	my plan was to re-start on the API side once the flowlabel semantics
	discussion gets completed.  btw, i don't think flowlabel relates to
	diffserv, am i right?
