WG, Sorry for not meeting my promise to ensure this was available before the end of November. The editing and reviewing to get the two documents consistent took a bit longer than expected.
These updates represent some major changes due to the restructuring into an applicability statement of draft-ietf-6man-udpzero-08. This makes the Diff very unsuitable for a review. So I do hope that a number of the WG members can review both the documents. We need confirmation that we haven't screwed up something or changed the document beyond what there be consensus for. This document has massive changes in the discussion and in how the RFC2460 specification update is done. So please review.
