I am concerned that the long-term result of this might be that we will have to live with both % and - used as separators in various tools and interfaces and that this might at the end even cause changes to other tools and specifications that currently are just fine with using % as a separator. Perhaps I am overly anxious but only future will tell. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1, 28759 Bremen, Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/> -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
