The 802 priority attributes define a standard mechanism to configure the
standard 802.1 priority regeneration table.  They do not deal with
bandwidth allocations, reservations, schedulers, markers, meters...
They simply make a mapping of the incoming priority of a frame to one of
the eight 802 classes of service.  This is fairly simple and in support
of an existing standard, so I would argue they do not need to become
part of a larger common QoS approach.  There are no current open issues
related to this attribute.
