I have the impression that the dual - ISIS draft says something
at the very least about encapsulating IP packets in CLNP pdu's
(for partition repair).  If my memory is correct, the encapsulation
is to use a CLNP pdu with NSAP having the final byte (NSEL) being 0,
and have the first data byte be 0xcc.

Other identifiers could be drawn from the space specified by
ISO TR9577 (I believe -- I'm working from home and don't have
the magic numbers with me).  This is something about protocol
identifiers in the network layer.

the CCITT has reserved 0x80 for 802.2 encapsulation, so you
could also use SNAP headers for XNS, or whatever else SNAP
buys you (Like 802 bridging?).  You might also want to look at
the internet draft about mutliprotocol over frame relay.
