Dear authors,
Very interesting document and very valuable to document the current
behavior of the A, M and O flags (that have caused some headaches to
some including myself when troubleshooting IPv6).
I see that has been submitted as "Proposed Standard" but I failed to
find what you are proposing.
Would it better to be submitted as "Informational" and then look how to
indicate the correct behavior of the flags? or just as "Informational"?
Regards.
