[Tony said]  Hannes, yepp, first, work's interesting & fact that it works gives 
it its own merit, should be possibly taken up by someone IMO. My points were 
though:

        1. I didn't see 'running large datacenters' as something on RTGWG 
charter and it's also typically something that is first driven by larger set of 
requirements rather than a single datapoint. 
        2. A blueprint of a particular solution is exactly that.  It is not a 
generic protocol specification or guideline that will fit e'one. If you have 
multi-TS which bring their own existing addresses or need MAC mobility or have 
to run L2 applications or don't have BGP implementation with necessary twists 
or other tid-nits which tons of DC happen to carry about then the shoe may not 
fit.

[Tony said]  We know that from a running thing called the 'Internet'  ;-P  I 
know I took it out the context but I couldn't resist the tongue-in-cheek pun 
possible ;-)

Again, looking fwd' to presentation and discussion on the floor.
