have I said that? then please let me clarify.
I do think this document should be published.

this document was returned to the working group by the AD, after the IETF last 
call.
to me that's a strong hint from the community that we didn't do a good enough 
job
in the working group. before re-sending the document, I want to make sure we 
have
dotted every i and crossed every t.

there are other interface-identifier mechanisms proposed, I want to make sure 
we go back and 
look at the bigger picture to ensure that we understand all the issues and that 
we are reasonably
confident that we are done.

I think you have made your point, thank you.

cheers,
Ole
