Hesham,

I strongly disagree.

What is an IPv6 Hosts document going to tell us that we don't already know as 
implementors for IPv6?

If its new requirements then we should write a draft on those requirements?

I always hated the 1122 and 1123 restated the obvious to kernel OS implementors. I 
would argue the spec was good but it did not work in the market.  What made 
implementations interoperable were bake-offs and learning to make the general TCP/IP 
specs work.  Now for new requirements thats fine.

We are trying to reduce the work load in the IETF not increase it?

I don't see the business or technical benefit of using up the working groups energy 
with such a document.

Maybe someone should write up what it would do and we should discuss that?  I feel 
like we are urinating in the wind here.

thanks
