The segment in intarea today was about adaptation layer fragmentation 
indication,
draft-bormann-intarea-alfi-01.txt

That is fragmentation that is harder to avoid, as it happens "transparently" 
below IP in an adaptation layer for a specific link layer.
I was arguing for providing a "looking glass" into what is happening down 
there, so transport or application layer protocols can choose packet sizes 
intelligently.  The specific solution I was proposing was mainly a strawman to 
show how it could be made to work in principle -- the hop-by-hop option I used 
may be not very useful in the general Internet.
