As individual ... In reference to [1], where we discuss whether or not there should be a 1-1 relationship between an IP address and a PID, and if it is not, how should we handle it?

I think we should say something along the lines of what I suggest (it probably doesn't need to go in much, if any, more detail either) otherwise we risk interoperability issues where one client may interpret such a map as invalid while others do not.
Ben: The bigger question to me is: is it indeed valid to have a 1:N mapping between an IP address and a PID? If it is not, then we leave this to the category of configuration errors and not discuss how to handle it in the draft (the draft cannot provide hedges against every MUST and MUST NOT). So, the larger question is: Do folks see a 1:1 relationship between a PID and an IP address? Or do folks envision one IP address belonging to more than on PID? My personal answer is to leave it at a 1:1 relationship, essentially as it is defined in the draft right now.
