Hi Ron,

No need to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Simply shorten Section 5.3 to
the following:

>   5.3.  Packet-in-Packet Encapsulations
>
>   This document acknowledges that in some cases, packets must be
>   fragmented within IP-in-IP tunnels.  Therefore, this document makes no
>   additional recommendations regarding IP-in-IP tunnels.
>   See [I-D.ietf-intarea-tunnels] for further discussion.

and then update 'intarea-tunnels' to include the new information on 9180 MTU
fragmenting tunnels that I posted in my previous list post.

But, I agree with your observation that there is tribal knowledge here contained
in a body whose average age is pushing retirement (self included) so all the 
more
reason to capture it now.

Fred
