Well unless I'm mistaken, the purpose of the field for which it was originally 
introduced is as I stated it, to track where we (layer maintainers) are in 
sending things upstream since the expectation is that we will be the ones 
doing the work required to do that. Whether or not the label(s) that get used 
accurately communicate that is another matter.

Cheers,
Paul
