I tried reading through the links and it wasn't making sense to me,
now that you say that, it does make more sense. At first I thought you
were confusing LDP signalled VPLS with BGP signalled VPLS but yeah I
see now that the Juniper documentation is in fact incorrect :)

I was trying to work out the mechanism for signalling the
non-designated-forwarding PE-CE link to go operationally "down" (I'm
used to VPLS on Cisco kit). This isn’t in RFC4761 so is this a Juniper
custom extension?

Cheers,
