I'd like to formally request the following from the WG on this
document:
- I'd like to see it become a WG document (to become a BCP RFC)
- I'd like for folks here to review it and post any issues they have
with it
- I'd like to call special attention to the following text that it
includes:
> In addition, experience with IPv4 has shown that it is useful to
> reserve an address block for documentation purposes that will never
> be assigned for actual use in a network [DOC]. Such addresses can
> safely be used in documentation, without the worry that someone will
> accidentally (and incorrectly) configure them on a real network and
> cause traffic intended for the legitimate owner of those addresses to
> be impacted.
>
> This document reserves the IPv6 address block XXXX::/32 for
> documentation purposes.
There has been some private discussion about the need for addresses
for documentation, but it's probably worth discussing how much address
space is needed for this purpose, and what the prefix should be (e.g.,
allocate out of 001/3?). the /32 length is a strawman.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : IANA Allocation Guidelines for Values in IPv6 and
Related Headers
Author(s) : T. Narten

This document provides guidelines to IANA on the procedures for
assigning values for various IPv6-related fields. This document
updates and replaces the IPv6-related guidelines in RFC 2780.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
