Is the title supposed to be a pun? I.e., do you mean "to find solutions to requirements for local communications .." or "finding requirements for addressing mechanism to solve this problem" ? > The title articulates the problem space which is perceived as requiring > new solutions after the elimination of site-locals; it is not pre-judging > what those solutions should be.

As said, I disagree with pretty much all of the document, if it is *supposed* to be the requirements how to find solutions for IPv6 sites which seem impaired by IPv6 after SL's are dead. About the only non-solution specific thing about the document seems to be the title (depending on whether you take it for a pun or not..) The document assumes we need local addressing. That's already solutionism. Having a document which explores local addressing requirements may be OK -- but at least state it clearly and DON'T pretend otherwise! :-) -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
