>From a process perspective this seems to be in the wrong order. Unless standards track documents which use IPv4-mapped addresses are moved off the standards track first, then the above first step would create a conflict between a proposed standard and a draft standard. That would we bad. So if you are contemplating doing this, I'd recommend reversing the order of the steps. I'll save on technical comments for some other time :-) Erik -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
