Hi Ralph,
I also agree that we should be more precise in our acceptance of
implemented and interoperable. I fear that the current practice can be
(and has been) applied selectively to allow advancement of some standards
while holding back others.
I'm not sure that your point above is
John - I should have been more careful in my use of we, which I had
intended to mean the IETF as a whole. I agree that the issue of
implemented and interoperable is not within the IPv6 WG's scope. It
wouldn't hurt for the WG to be aware of the potential issues and come to an
explciit decision
