Please!  There are zillions of DSL lines, but the proposal is not about
real-life until and unless it becomes a widely implemented de facto
standard.  If theoretical or claimed market size were tantamount to
real-life, then we'd be using ISO OSI suite today, along with a lot
of other things that somehow ever crossed from claimed market potential
to what some of us understand as reality.

I've not noticed an answer to the question of why it would not be
better to switch to ordinary IP/PPP, perhaps BP instead of IPCP,
from PPPoE.  Why wouldn't that more of any available MTU increase from
802.3 jumbo frames?  Why wouldn't that be at just as easy to implement
in in all of the boxes that will need new firmware or software for
any change?  Why wouldn't it be at least as robust?
