	OAM parameters are advertised by one router to the other
to indicate which VCCV types it can support and is expecting
to receive; there is no negotiation per se.  Once both sides
have indicated which VCCV "mode" they support, both sides
know which modes to both send to their peer, and what to
expect from them.

	I am updating the draft to make this more clear.
