Well, what's "native" in a CPE that has a built-in DSL modem which only
supports PPPoE encapsulation...?

What I want to see is "if it can do encapsulation X (at all), it should
be able to do PPP-over-X, as per RFC [Z]".

I do not see strong need to mandate "it must do encapsulation A, B and C", 
because the target customer base might not have or want "A" and "C"...
