Hi,
Two questions about this I-D:
(1) In Section 3.2.3 "Sample Code for Pseudo-Random Global ID Algorithm", step (1) of the algorithm states:
"Obtain the current time of day in 64-bit NTP format (NTP)"
Question: Would it be possible to have the I-D specify that "how the current time of day is obtained is beyond the scope of this document"?
(2) In Section 7.0 "DNS Issues", the last paragraph states:
"For future study names with logically unique IPv6 local addresses may be resolved inside of the site using dynamic naming systems such as Multicast DNS".
Question: Are you referring to <draft-ietf-dnsext-mdns-22.txt>?
Regards,
Pete

FYI. Changes include:
o Added section on scope definition and updated application
requirement section.
o Clarified that, by default, the scope of these addresses is
global.
o Renumbered sections and general text improvements
o Removed reserved global ID values
o Split Global ID values into centrally assigned and local
assignments and added text to describe local assignments
o Added pseudo code for local allocation submitted by Brian
Haberman and added him as an author.
The draft continues the use of the FC00::/7 prefix as I didn't see (as the
author) a clear consensus to change it.
