=> OK, will fix that.

=> I don't understand what you mean? It's a host
issue because the tunnel originates from the host.

=> Yep. Fixed that already in my hidden new version :)

=> OK. I'm not sure that it is a bad thing though.

=> Yeah, we can fix that in the next revision. 


I hope that, if there are no major issues during
the WG last call, we can update the draft once 
to include the WG last call comments and IESG
last call comments. Is that possible?
