From deciding not to do it when fixing our mtp3 routing rules!

Q.704 section 2.3 states that the routing is based on information
from the routing label - normally the sls and dpc.
With 2 linksets of 16 links the 'normal' link assignment could use
one bit of the sls to select between the linksets and the low bit
of the dpc and the other 3 bits of the sls to select one of the
16 links in the linkset.
This would be perfectly valid.

Q.705 A is only an example mesh network.
The appendix is describing the routing under fault conditions.
