What? The RFCs are some of the clearest, most straightforward, and least 
pretentious specs i have ever read. They beat seven bells out of any of 
Java spec after the JLS.

Well, up until the 2500-2800 period, anyway. They started to go downhill 
around then. The modern ones are pap. I mean, look at this sad specimen:

http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6457.txt

in which we find such morsels as:

    Also, note that an ingress LSR of a higher-layer or lower-layer LSP
    may be present in multiple layers.  Thus, even when a mono-layer path
    is requested or supplied, PCEP MUST be able to indicate the
    required/provided path layer.

Junk.
