Well, I agree with Christian's responses. We need to prevent panic (people rushing to switch off FEC0 immediately) and we need to prevent people continuing to write code to support it. I find it hard to see any wording that is better than the current draft. The IETF often specifies what must or mus

Brian, In response to your last call, I'd like to comment on the following sections of the document: Section 2.4 "Site is a Vague Concept" This section does overstate the case. The last paragraph itself is sufficient cause for concern, regarding the concept as it was envisioned. There is no

Sections 4 and 6 seem fine. Minor nit in 2.2 "which may cause" rather than "causing". Minor nit in 3, "QoS" for "QOS". Also in 3, "in which addresses are not ambiguous and do not have a simple explicit scope." is maybe better left as "in which addresses are not ambiguous" or maybe change to "a
