Does it really do that? I see a section requesting domains using CS1 to remark to LE on egress, which, given that hardware often treats CS1 to higher priority than CS0 seems like the right thing to do... I also see changes to all RFCs that recommended CS1 as LE-DSCP, but it specifically caters to dscp domains that actively use CS1. The bigger issue I see in the request to never bleach/nor re-mark 000001, but if this can be achieved for any codepoint the for LE, assuming every domain owner might actually be interested to use this information for dropping/queueing decisions, no?

Best Regards
