Encoding RWA Info in WSON

• This document provides efficient,
  protocol-agnostic encodings for the information
  elements necessary to operate a WSON. It is
  intended that protocol-specific documents will
  reference this memo to describe how information
  is carried for specific uses.
• Scope is the same as that in the RWA WSON
  Framework and Info Model drafts.

Changes from Encoding 02.txt

• Removed inconsistent text concerning link local
  identifiers and the link set field in section
  3.1.
• Added E bit to the Wavelength Converter Set Field
  (used to indicate if one 16 bit word of padding
  is present or not)
• Added bidirectional connectivity matrix example.
  Added simple link set example. Edited all
  examples in appendix for accuracy and consistency.
