Hi Qi,

the scope  remains unchanged: Define DHCPv6 options for CPEs that a MAP CPE
can use. It so happens that these same options can be used by any A+P CPE,
and I have previously made the case that most of the existing proposals can
use the same scheme of dhcp options: Please see -
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/84/slides/slides-84-softwire-13.pdf. This
was the document that actually paved for discussion of what then became the
uCPE.
What more, based on the prototype implementations of the options defined in
draft-ietf-map-dhcp-03 we know that they were perfectly capable of
addressing MAP, Lw46, ds-lite, etc, CPEs. The fact that they have changed
is to address the expressed reservations from parties about the options
being "too MAP specific", about flags, naming, etc. I gave the outline of
those changes before publishing, and they were also the subject of
discussion by numerous parties (not just authors) before.

Anyway, for me, the previous "MAP centric" draft was ready for WG last call
(bar a few edits). The changes made in -04 reflect the desire to actually
have a set of options that address common concerns that apply to A+P.
Perhaps you could explain what is the issue in this that needs to be
discussed?

Alternatively, we can proceed to nail any outstanding technical issues and
have the draft sail quickly.

Thanks.
Woj.
