Thanks for the heads-up.  I was basing my question on the 
documentation, and I should have learned better by now..  Could the 
description of the default value for graceful-restart (which is 
different than enable or disable) be put somewhere in the 
documentation?  E.g., at,

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos72/swconfig72-routing/html/routing-summary23.html
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos72/swconfig72-routing/html/routing-generic-config13.html

It would also be nice to put the description Gary mentioned somewhere. 
AFAICS, the users seem to be very confused about GR and GRES, and BCP 
on the usage..
