Further, since the DSCP ( pow(2,8) = 256 combinations ) is 8 bits and provides 22 different PHB's(or roughly 7 different classes), and the EXP is just 3 bits and therefore can provide only upto 8 different classes, wouldnt there be loss of info while mapping DSCP->EXP ? any help would be greatly appreciated.

If so we will have to do a check with this WG whether anyone objects to the change, since the PIB passed Last Call a long time ago. If it introduces a dependency on a new draft, the PIB RFC will be blocked (again). So maybe you will have to paste in the TCs. Please tell us the exact changes you plan to the PIB.
