Hi Scott,
Oh. Then I think we actually agree on procedure, but let's make it explicit: The goal is to figure out which classes of solutions are appropriate, and one input to that is to look at the implications each solution class has on properties of identifiers.
Agree.
Some of us have been saying that you can't do "properties of identifiers" in general, you have to talk about which kinds of identifiers, in which context. I guess you agree. If so, sorry, I hadn't understood.
No, I think it's reasonable to talk about the classes of solutions and the reasonable properties of the (host, interface, stack, ...) identifier that is bound to the locator within each class.
Yes, local identifiers are worthy of discussion.
So I think that local identifiers are acceptable, but solutions should always also provide global identifiers. The decision of which to use should be left to the end station/stack/user.
Again, I would like the process to be explicit, otherwise we will probably ramble around and it will be hard to agree on whether we have reached any agreements. Do you want to start specifically with the class of solutions that includes ILNP, look specifically at "host" identifiers, and look at implications/possibilities/requirements? That would be fine with me.
Again, I don't want this to devolve into another partisan bickering match. I would much rather talk about general classes (ala Bill's different strategies).
