Alex, the draft name has changed to IPmix, I'll ask the Int-area AD for a 
mailing list so we can continue the technical discussiom.

Khaled, excuse me if I am too much tutorial-like.  It is in my nature, sorry.  
It does not mean I am right.

I will only post this idea once.

That is quite a strong requirement.  It's hard to assume one brings work 
at IETF and that initial work stays the same.   People would work on it, 
there would be suggestions, changes.

As for the email list, here is what happens usually:  One requests an email 
list, and provides reasons; then email list is created.

But then a very important step happens: the person who requested the email list 
waits to see how many people subscribe.  It's like when one creates a web site 
and waits to see how many people look at it.  One can not forcefully subscribe 
people to email lists - it is a practice little appreciated.

If one closes the topic very much (MUST be IPv10), then it is likely that few 
people will subscribe.  If one opens it a lot (MUST be something about 
migration and compatibility between IP versions), then there may be many people 
who join.

Given that, how many subscribers would you expect to be on your list? 
10?  500?

I am not sure.  When someone here invokes industry it's because s/he knows 
something about it, so better listen.
