I'm so far behind email, just notice this On Mar 29, 2008, at 10:28 AM, Scott Brim wrote:

if the word "primarily" means who's responsible for the errors, that's more than accurate :-)
On the other hand, without Scott this draft would not have been written
" A Taxonomy for New Routing and Addressing Architecture Designs". It's at <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rrg-taxonomy-00.txt>. Abstract: The Routing Research Group is tasked to design a new routing architecture to meet the challenges of scalability in face of pervasive multi-homing and inter-domain traffic engineering. A number of solutions have been proposed. This draft describes a taxonomy for the design space, and then uses the taxonomy to discuss and compare the proposed solutions. This draft does not advocate criteria or metrics for comparing performance of different approaches. Rather, we've been trying to find a unifying functional description and dimensions for discussion of all proposals. It's about "how", not "how well". This hasn't been easy, and we've gone around on this draft for a while. It's an unfinished project and needs group discussion. You'll see we list ourselves as editors.
I'd also like to add that the current version is rather incomplete. There can be design points in the space that we fail to see at this time, but we also have not covered completely all the points we know. Plan to fill in the missing parts in a revision next week (and hopefully also integrate in any comments/criticisms we receive before then)
