Can we move from the process discussion to the technical discussion? Michael raised an interesting issue, and we have to analyze it. The consensus of the working group so far is that interface identifiers are private to the host, that any leakage outside the host should be prevented, and that a way to prevent that leakage is to ask proxies to erase them whenever they have an opportunity. Michael points that some servers take an opposite approach, want to record the interface from which the host called them, and want to ensure that further calls in the same session use exactly the same interface. That seems that a fairly legitimate debate, and I can see two alternatives -- one would be to reaffirm the old guidance and provides alternative to ensure session continuity, and the other would be to reverse the guidance and accept that the layer violation performed by servers is just fine.
