You may recall someone (maybe it was you?) had suggested the issue of using 'multicast' IPv4 mapped addresses in the API be handled in a separate document rather than in the basic API. It sounds like the above suggestion would prevent that from happening at all if we ever came to some agreement on the finer details. > o Move any document that suggests the use of IPv4 mapped address on wire > to historic, due to security reasons. > > The above change will remove the threat due to the use of IPv4 mapped > address on wire.
