>Since the number of bits for the nonce was an open question for the -01 document, we will add text in a -02 version reflecting the closure. So then it >should be OK to specify the default to be 48 bits and let an implementation use higher length if the implementation wants to. Actually, since we accepted Ray's idea, the idea matches the Nonce Option in RFC 3971 which also uses a minimum of 48 bits for the nonce and allows for a longer nonce. Since our document does not say anything else beyond RFC 3971, we don't have to add/change any text in this regard. This is the text we have in our document below. I raised the question today in case there was anyone who wanted one fixed length of the nonce in the reflected-DAD algorithm. [The document proposes use of the Nonce Option (specified in [RFC3971]). The nonce is a random number as specified in [RFC3971].] In the -02 version, we will incorporate editorial comments from Tassos.
