Hi Tony,

When revising your text, can you add something to indicate that ILNP
is not suitable for widespread adoption in IPv4?

Even if it was not constrained by the 32 bit address bits in terms of
the number of Locators and Identifiers it could provide, each
multihomed end-user network would chew at least 3 times its current
amount of global unicast space, as I wrote:

  http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rrg/current/msg06489.html

Since the RRG's charter contains nothing which diminishes the
importance of solving the IPv4 scaling problem, in the absence of a
note about ILNP's unsuitability for IPv4, readers would get the
impression from your text that you think ILNP could contribute to the
solution of the IPv4 scaling problem.
