Can we get more words that this spec does not eliminate users who want
to use identifiers that are globally unique by ignoring this entire
spec?
Also I waited to respond cause I asked 3 sys admins of very large
networks to tell me if they would shut this off on an IPv6
implementation. All said yes and it appears the IETF had to play some
poltics here. This is just plain silly for corporate Intranets.
Hence, I suggest that some words be stated that for corproate Intranet
traffic this is may be very unnecessary.
thanks
