| +       End LSP-ID:   ffff.ffff.ffff.ff-ff
| As "Source-ID:" and "Start LSP-ID:" are aligned, I see no reason not to
| align "End LSP-ID:" with its peers.

can you give a reason _why_ it should get aligned ?

P.S. i am working on name resolution for IS-IS which will display
variable length names - ultimately this screws any script that
relies on fixed offsets - so i wondered if there are other
reasons than (just guessing) scripts simple;
