In Minneapolis, I made a similar comment and Bob said the reference from addr-arch to ipaddr-text is not necessary (see http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/03nov/minutes/ipv6.htm and search for "ABNF") I myself does not have a particular opinion, but would like to see a consensus. I'm currently revising the scoping architecture draft, and the consensus might affect the references section there, too. > I agree that the limit should be 4 digits (optionally including > leading zeros) and the draft-main- syntax specifies that. Regarding this part, I agree. It should also be noted that we had the same discussion in this April to June (at the ipngwg ML with the subject "IPv6 Address validation"). Unfortunately, we did not reach a consensus at that time as far as I can see. It's nice if we can make it this time. JINMEI, Tatuya Communication Platform Lab. Corporate R&D Center, Toshiba Corp.
