Folks,
this discussion doesn't seem to be going anywhere at the point. Perhaps
we
can drop it?
The decision of MUST/SHOULD is up to the working group to recommend in
its
spec, and Jari will reflect that decision when he produces the final spec.
The consensus that has been recorded so far is MUST for HAO processing, MUST
for
BE processing, SHOULD for RO support (although it's not listed in the
node/host/
routers requirements section, 9.1 says it SHOULD be supported by all nodes).
We'll
look at the recent thread before determing whether the earlier consensus of
MUST for
HAO and BE processing are still intact.
When MIP sends the spec up to the IESG for approval, we'll let the NG
working
group know the summary of the requirements that the MIP working group has
recommended.
