[deleted, lots of good ideas and suggestions. I agree with essentially all
of it]

  Another area which needs improvement is making L2
	switches similarly aware of community TOS in IP packets.

Why would an L2 switch need or even want to be aware of TOS? Wouldn't this
be a Class 3/4..7 issue? If community TOS is supported, those guys that
would benefit from awareness of it in their internal network would address
this at a higher level switch I'd think.

I took your suggestion as a "best effort" below "normal" effort for
"community" TOS. I could be mistaken.
