As you may or may not know, SEAL has been in the works for a long time now. This coming Aug/Sep will mark 8 years, and coincided with the closure of NGTRANS (search for "pool-pah"): ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf-mail-archive/ngtrans/2002-08.mail the declaration of IPv6 as "operational": http://www.ops.ietf.org/lists/v6ops/v6ops.2002/msg00000.html and the first meeting of the v6ops working group: http://www.ops.ietf.org/lists/v6ops/v6ops.2002/msg00012.html RFC5320 has an experimental implementation to match the document's experimental category: http://osprey67.com/seal and now, 'draft-templin-intarea-seal' is ready for general consumption and development of interoperable implementations. In fact, if anyone wants to beat me to forward-porting the existing linux code to match the new spec, I would be glad to challenge them to a bake-off in the near future. Implementations for other OS's would of course also be welcome. As I said before, 6rd with a 1280 clamping might be pretty good, but why not go the extra step to remove artificial size restrictions and make it *great*.
