Sorry, I couldn't see earlier the previous mail you sent me today. I was 
preparing my answer to it when I saw this mail on the list. (Sorry also if I 
misunderstood your intention when we talked, since I would have made then the 
comments below.)
 
1.
Replacing 4rd-01 by 4rd-u-06 (the pre-Paris document on 4rd) would have been be 
fair *ONLY IF* map-00 would have been replaced by pre-Paris documents on map 
(i.e. mdt-softwire-mapping-address-and-port-01, possibly accompanied by some or 
all of its companion drafts).

2.
Actually, neither map-00 nor 4rd-00 have been just renamed pre-Paris drafts: 
- map-00 is a completely restructured specification of map, also including some 
technical novelties. This raised AFAIK *no objection* from anyone (if on 
excludes the 1:1 issue, which was contentious WITHIN the map team.   
- 4rd-00 also differs from 4rd-u-06 (editorial improvements and one technical 
novelty, clearly announced to the WG in 
www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/softwires/current/msg04256.html). This also 
raised AFAIK *no objection" from anyone.
- Then, after discussions of 4rd-00 on the WG mailing list, it appeared that 
the specification could be further improved regarding a security issue (maybe 
minor, but real). At this point I made the mistake to issue 4rd-01, with this 
improvement, BEFORE asking for WG approval. Joel Halpern kindly warned me about 
the procedure infringement, which I acknowledged on the list. 

=> fairness can then be restored if I post a 4rd-02 identical to 4rd-00, thus 
relegating 4rd-01 to what it should have been, a proposal only submitted by its 
authors.

Hoping this is acceptable, I wait for your answer before doing anything.

Thank you,
RD
