I guess that's the core of the disagreement.  I don't see our task as that
of replacing SL - certainly not in terms of coming up with "a" replacement.
I recognize that SL was designed to fill certain needs - or probably closer
to the truth is that lots of folks were projecting needs onto SL.  Where
there are legitimate needs, we need to try to address them.  It's also
clear that PA addressing alone cannot meet some legitimate needs.  What's not
clear is that there is a legitimate need for "local" addressing - and stating
things in that way seems to presume a particular kind of solution that we
already know to be problematic.
