While I am perfectly happy not to do anything, I will point out that 
the proposed solution avoids needing to change all the TLVs.
All the controlling TLVs would just have their normal (less than 64K) 
length, because the content of the PDU is less then 64K.  Only the 
path-data (sparse or dense) TLVs would need to change.
Yes, it is a hack.  But it is designed in aprt to avoid the problem 
of having to change everything.

Joel
