Agreed. I do think it would be useful to have an informational document that describes the issue, describes the several cases, and outlines some reasonable mechanisms (possibly separate mechanisms for each case), both for the benefit of network operations folks and also for the benefit of equipment suppliers. Perhaps I am confused, but such a document sounds more like an IPv6 Ops WG item than an IPv6 WG item. So I'm wondering whether this thread belongs over there rather than here.
