Hm. What is the cisco-speak "correct" name now (which in fact is not  
very intuitive): Vlan-based or SVI-based? Vlan-based is

interface gigabitethernet 1/interface.subinterface
   encapsulation dot1q vlan_id
   xconnect peer_router_id vcid encapsulation mpls
!

This is possible on sup720 even without any fancy linecards. But SVI- 
based

interface vlan 10
   xconnect peer_router_id vcid encapsulation mpls
!

requires those OSM/SIP modules on cat65xx/Sup720 (as Oli wrote) but  
works fine on ME3750. Thus SVI-based (on ME3750) together with VLAN- 
based (on ME6524) should work.

When configuring SVI-based EoMPLS on the ME6524 usually some kind of  
warning is logged ("Config not supported", or "MPLS configured on LAN  
interfaces" as far as I remember).
