>TE can be used to signal the LSP between the PE routers.

Indeed, but I have a feeling that the poster was not intending to mesh his
VPN PE routers with TE LSPs.

I'd be interested to hear of a large scale MPLS VPN deployment that does use
TE LSPs between the PE nodes. I'm sure numerous will have some TE paths in
the core with LDP/TDP running over them to provide the end-to-end
signalling, but do networks run TE out to the PE edge?
