Let me leave out the namespace discussion for a moment (I like to see
namespaces to the type, but I'm not sure if that should go into the
label element, the type attribute or type value)

Can I summarise the proposals for labels as:

1. / 3. (the difference between 1 and 3 is the namespace)

<nml:label type="c-vlan">42</nml:label>

<nml:label type="wavelength" unit="nm" spacing="25GHz">1500</nml:label>

4.
<nml:label>
  <nml:labeltype>c-vlan</nml:labeltype>
  <nml:value>42</nml:value>
</nml-eth:label>

<nml:label>
  <nml:labeltype>wavelength</nml:labeltype>
  <nml:unit>nm</nml:value>
  <nml:spacing>25GHz</nml:value>
  <nml:value>1500</nml:value>
</nml-eth:label>

2.

<nml:label>
  <nml:parameter name="type>c-vlan</nml:parameter>
  <nml:parameter name="value>42</nml:parameter>
</nml-eth:label>

<nml:label>
  <nml:parameter name="type">wavelength</nml:parameter>
  <nml:parameter name="unit">nm</nml:parameter>
  <nml:parameter name="spacing">25GHz</nml:parameter>
  <nml:parameter name="value">1500</nml:parameter>
</nml-eth:label>


To me, they are actually the same, as they probably map to the same UML
structure in the NML schema (which is all I care about).

So I have no preference for the above.
