We'll incorporate this.

Will do that. Also, we are thinking of proposing to allow for T attribute 
to be present in C address family.

After much thought, some of us feel that providing three address families 
but allowing use one at a time is
sufficient.

So, the question here is: Can we come up with a reasonable example, that 
includes a TGREP/TRIP reachability
flow and a call flow, describing how/why an actual  customer may need this 
flexibility?
