Phil,

I don't agree with your view at all.  But below is important to the
decision IMO.

I have to agree if the doc is saying an IPv6 implementation should not
implement everything and it has an IETF RFC.

Not for technical reasons or I think it bad.  But because I am practical
and know our community.  This would not see the light of day politically
and that is just the way it is.

I strongly suggest we who care (again) just submit this to 3GPP and end
this IETF discussion.  

As to node reqs for IPv6.  Thats an important discussion but I will
argue I have all those reqs as a vendor and implementor currently in our
specs.  I will implement those that will be wanted by customers and for
the product set supporting them.

Thats what this is really all about and we may have headed down the
wrong path back at the seattle meeting.  The reason I say this is that
we cannot control IPv6 deployment in the IETF for any market and in
particular 3GPP.

Also as you stated 3GPP2 has different reqs than 3GPP.
