Good question...and one that I've given them a *very* hard time over
since we started working with them.  If I *had* to hazard a guess, its
because they were strongly marketing the dynamic service selection
stuff, and you really can't do that with only DHCP and rfc14(83|90)
encapsulation, you have to run some sort of tunneling protocol or
something to get the service selection (at least, I haven't come up with
a way to do it).
