The below link is a little vague in that it doesn't indicate in the domain
section that it is dealing purely with L2 LSP's which it must be. There is
only one authentication tlv and two mechanisms can't be programmed to
populate it since such a system would preclude the use of both, and
therefore cause interoperability issues.

Please see my other post to Sage on the intended use of domain & area pw's.
