Is there a strong reason to not move forward with the new label
protocol in 3.0?  It seems like it's had reasonable support on the list
(the main complaint has been consistency AFAICS).  Would it be a bunch
of work to make things consistent using the new label model?  

I've not dug into the 3.0 model extensively, but it makes sense to me to
split the envelopes out of the data parts of the message and put them
into the protocol itself.
