Why can't wireless links use the RFC 1349 values? Aren't those
4 values supposed to be grandfathered?
Why can't you trust that people who aren't stupid will configure their
routers to translate the DS values they use inside their networks to mean
low-delay or high throughput back to 0x10 and 0x08 as packets leave their
networks?
