Operating systems just started to handle IPv6 (latest FreeBSD,
experimental update for Windows 2000, etc.) so using them isn't easy

Other specifications make use of (or at least reference) this RFC like
XML 1.0, XML Base, XML Schema, XML DSiG and the upcoming IRI Standards
Track, so I think yes, they agree that this is a good thing [tm].
