Thanks to Qiong for raising this question in a more general context than that of MAP-E issue # 18 (http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/softwire/trac/ticket/18) AFAIK, Alain's intention before he left was to move from MAP-E/MAP-T/4rd-U to 4rd-E/4rd-T/4rd-H (with H for Hybrid). IMHO, this does make sense because: - "IPv4 Residual Deployment" better reflects the solution scope than "Address and Port Mapping". - This nicely conveys that there is commonality with 6rd. The fact that "MAP" has been used for some time for both MAP-E and MAP-T can be considered an impediment, but: - Now is a good time for making a consistent choice for the future. - Editorial updates for this are essentially trivial. NB: The original acronym for MAP-E was 4rd (and that of MAP-T was 4via6). This is my 2-cents contribution on this naming issue (after so many contributions to build and improve the solution).
