	The challenge in the SP space is that one doesn't always control
the VLAN ids that are assigned to you.  If you show up in a city, you may
connect to two different metro ether providers and get overlapping vlan ids.

	This means either buying one of the "router" cards for the 76k,
having a second device, or do some funky translations.

	the people who would use this are people who would likely
"know what they're doing", like with most of the hidden commands that
exist in various router vendors.  service unsupported-vlan-magic is a
great way to handle these things :)
