I've got a theory, but it is really nothing more than a theory, so if anyone
knows I would love to hear the answer...What if you wanted to prioritize
based on saps, but only for one interface in a bridge group that spanned
multiple interfaces? I.E. if you don't specify a priority level but you
turn on prioritization for DLSW, all data packets are classified for normal
priority, so what if all traffic on one bridge-group interface was to be
prioritized but all traffic on another could simply be classified as normal
priority...Specifying "sap-priority" on the end of "dlsw bridge-group"
wouldn't allow you to do this (all traffic from the bridge group would be
prioritized). I'll try it out in the lab tomorrow, but that's the only
thing I can come up with. Seems to make sense, though.

As far as your other question goes, I think it has to do with backwards
compatability...First, look at this link (careful with the word wrap) for
IOS 12.0...It says that port-list can be used for token ring and serial:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/12cgcr/ibm_r/br
prt2/brdlsw.htm

Then look at this link (version 11.2)...It says that port-list works for TR,
serial, and ethernet (but strangely enough, the bgroup-list command is also
shown, which I would assume replaced the use of port-list for ethernet
interfaces...go figure):

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios112/112cg_cr/8rbook
/8rdlsw.htm

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and I'll check that one out tomorrow as
well (whether or not it works with ethernet, that is)
