Wouldn't this fall in the  SADDR range, where both 0x0800 and 0x86dd
would be acceptable values for all Pv4/IPv6/ETH, making it completely
unviable way to discriminate.
There isn't really super good way to duck-type in LSR transit. Frankly
MPLS would have done well to specify multiple ethertypes, MPLS-IP,
MPLS-ETH, MPLS-UNSPECIFIED, this could be introduced post-fact, by
making 8847 MPLS-UNSPECIFIED.
