In a message posted on November 10, Bob Hinden expressed his wish that these addresses not become known as Hinden/Haberman addresses. The first alternative that sprang to my mind was Bob/Brian addresses, but perhaps he would find that equally distasteful.
It seems to me we need a new word, devoid of previous baggage, to denote these new style addresses. And so I have coined a new word, specifically intended to describe the addresses in this draft: scolliate I would have sworn that this word doesn't exist, but I plugged it into Google, and it found (with the assistance of the Logos Universal Conjugator) that it is an Italian word, meaning "you unglue." After a few moments' reflection, I thought this might be considered appropriate, considering how unglued people have become over site- local addresses. How I actually coined this word is left as an exercise for the reader. Contact me off-list if you need details. Meanwhile, I look forward to the term "scolliate addresses" taking the IP version 6 world by storm. -- George Mitchell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
