Good day PPML,With Emerson's admonition, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.", firmly in mind, I wonder about a few lingering inconsistencies in the proposed changes.
Of the different ways that IPs are referred to in the proposed replacements, are any intended to have a different meaning or implication than the others?
* "IPv4 address space" (8.2) * "IPv4 address resources" (8.3, 8.4) * "IPv4 addresses" (8.4) * "IPv4 address blocks" (8.5.6, 8.5.7) * "IPv4 space" (8.5.6) * "space" (8.5.7)My impression is that there is really only one kind of entity in play here, the canonical name of which is "IPv4 address resource(s)". "blocks" strikes me as semantically equivalent insofar as a block is the unit in which address resources are measured. "addresses" and the variations on "space", imply---or at least encompass---collections of individual addresses that are non-contiguous and/or non-co-terminal with CIDR boundaries.
