Let me beat this dead horse once more, but slightly :-)

OK, I've conceded the "lots of typing" solution at the 3550/3750 CE end.  What about at the PE?

Could the 6500 (PE end) then use L3 subinterfaces, rather than SVIs/vlans?  You still need unique vlans for each CE P2P at the PE at this rate unless I'm missing something (encap dot1q xxxx reserves vlanID).

Can you mesh them on a common vlan?  x.x.x.1/28 SVI at the PE, CEs use x.x.x.2/28, x.x.x.3/28, etc?
