This has little relation to the "PE/PE" device usage, what he is asking
for is a pretty simple VLAN-translation feature. And AFAIK, apart from
Cisco's "dot1q-to-ISL mapping", they have never offered a
VLAN-translation feature on ANY switch series, a feature which is
present in alot of vendors gear even down to the "access switch" range.

There are a lot of scenarios where one might want VLAN XX on one
trunk-port leaving as VLAN YY on another, without spaghetti-cabling
between N number of switches and ports manually to do "VLAN
cross-connects".
