This is a pretty unclear comment. Apart from anything else, the IETF obsoleted
the old concept of the TOS field in RFC 2474. The replacement concept of the
Differentiated Services field (which applies identically to IPv4 and IPv6)
is considerably more complex and subtle, and goes way beyond the notion
of simple priority that has been mentioned on this thread.

I agree that this question should be deferred to a later stage.
