just like any interface address can conflict with any other.
MAP uses a single address out of the first subnet in a delegation. the 
probability of collision even if it was shared with native hosts is reasonably 
small.

your view of the effect of reserving some bits in the middle of the 
interface-id for the purpose of 4rd seems quite overstated to me. nor do I 
follow your use of "authorized / unauthorized" interface-ids.

the solution proposed in MAP may not be perfect. it is a tradeoff. 4rd suggests 
another tradeoff that in my view, has much wider consequences. take it to 6man.

cheers,
Ole
