Hi all,

In general, I support Thomas' text, but I still think some clarification is 
needed:

Should we give some guidance on what to do if both mechanisms are available
on a network, the methods give contradictory information? I don't think it is
enough to say that both SHOULD be supported, without giving additional
clarification on what it means when both are supported.
