...but you can with the GE-WAN blade? I presume I can create dot1q subints
on a ge-wan interface, and the vlan ids aren't seen in the L2 space on the
6500 at all? We're trying to avoid buying any of the OSM blades, because of
cost, at the moment, but may need to plan for them in the future if it's
the only way to do dot1q subints ona 6k like we can on the 7200/gsr.

Yes.

Are there any gotchas to watch out for the the internal vlans? We'll be
using this box as almost exclusively L3.
