Ashok, I'm wondering if I'm missing something in what you're saying.  I 
see 2 as a completely separate issue (is the collection's behavior 
run-time selectable) from 1 or 3 (how many kinds of collections exist). 
Granted that 2 is only "interesting" if the WG decides that >1 kind of 
collection is covered by LDP, but it seems like a downstream question 
either way.
