i am not against that checksum neutrality is useful but i don't think it it
wise to write it into a standard, forcing others doing. on the other hand,
even we write it in, we'd better not to have it as a reason for disabling
the L4-checksum adjustment. using CNP to REPLACE L4-checksum adjustment is
a wrong direction.

it is good to have a checksum-neutral address format, if situation allows,
as a deployment option, rather than a mandatory element in standard.
because it can only play the role of a complement in some cases. that's my
point.

hope it clarifies. ;-)
