        Here are the facts:

        (i).    the 240/4 draft has nothing to do with LISP

        (ii).   I wrote the EID block draft on the advice of 
                an ARIN AC member. It went no where, as you can
                see, so we bought an experimental EID prefix from
                ARIN.

        But again, this is beating a dead horse. If the consenus
        is do such a draft (assuming there is somewhere to "do a
        draft"), then I assume we (the community) will do
        so. Otherwise, we will not. Nuff said?
