  In our case, we just treat L2VPNs as transparent, and let the
customer send whatever they want.  Tagged, untagged, whatever.  We use
ethernet-ccc encapsulation for this, of course.  We have yet to come
up with a situation where we needed to care about VLANs for L2VPN
customers (unless we need to q-in-q them across a trunk port from an
aggregation device, in which case 512 would still be plenty per-trunk
port for us).
