Do you refer to the Section 2.4. User-Priority-Table ?

I will take a look at the referenced document ([IEEE802.1D]). a few
references are missing, btw.

Is the content of this attribute going to be dumped into 
> draft-ietf-radext-vlan-priority-00.txt
What else will go into this draft? 

Ciao
Hannes
