Read the second last para of section 5.

Control channels are part of "regular" OSPF; the GMPLS OSPF draft
deals with the formats of the GMPLS TE extensions.  As the abstract says:

   This document specifies encoding of extensions to the OSPF routing
   protocol in support of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching
   (GMPLS).  The description of the extensions is specified in [GMPLS-
   ROUTING].

BTW, since you have a penchant for pedantry, let me point out that
it is inconsistent to call a "missing reference" (or a "no mention")
an "inconsistency".

On the other hand, we do appreciate your careful reading.

Kireeti.
