Tony, I counted: 9 for 3 accept with the reservation that the IPv4 and IPv6 solutions should be identical 4 offering other reservations 3 against That's a pretty weak consensus. Are you sure you want to roll forward without seeking a statement that more than a minority can agree to without reservations? Personally, I've reached the view that there are three worthy avenues of investigation, and we should be pursuing all three of them in parallel: 1. The IPv6 variant (which may be but probably isn't compatible with IPv4) 2. The IPv4 variant (which is compatible with but likely suboptimal for IPv6) 3. The clean-slate variant which we could design if we weren't constrained by IPv4 or IPv6. Each is interesting in its own right, mild competition between the three efforts will tend to improve all of them and IMO each is likely to yield knowledge that proves useful to the other two but wouldn't otherwise be discovered.
