Section 3 says:

   [RFC4328] describes GMPLS signaling extensions to support the control
   for the 2001 revision of the G.709 specification.  However, [RFC7096]
   does not provide the means to signal all the new Signal Types and
   related mapping and multiplexing functionalities.  Moreover, it
   supports only the deprecated auto-MSI (Multiframe Structure
   Identifier) mode, which assumes that the Tributary Port Number (TPN)
   is automatically assigned in the transmit direction and not checked
   in the receive direction.

It should say:

   [RFC4328] describes GMPLS signaling extensions to support the control
   for the 2001 revision of the G.709 specification.  However, as 
   described in[RFC7096], that document does not provide the means to
   signal all the new Signal Types and related mapping and multiplexing
   functionalities.  Moreover, it supports only the deprecated auto-MSI
   (Multiframe Structure Identifier) mode, which assumes that the 
   Tributary Port Number (TPN) is automatically assigned in the transmit
   direction and not checked in the receive direction.

Notes:

RFC 7096 is the analysis of pre-existing GMPLS signalling. It does not contain any protocol extensions itself, but looks at the mechanisms provided in RFC 4328.
