Lars 6man, (Sorry about the slow turn-around here... I spent last week attending to non-IETF business, I'm afraid. Bad time for the boss to go skiiing...) This document is an AD-sponsored individual submission, and is intended for publication as an Informational RFC on the IETF stream.

I've read the I-D draft and all the discussion on this thread so far. I support publication of this draft as an Informational RFC. We have customers who expressed strong interest in migrating to an MLS IPv6 implementation. I suspect customers are suffering from very limited option space in

Ok, Lars, you're asking for opinions, I will give you one. Remember, you asked. I think that, given how many times the IETF has added bizzare standards track features to IPv6 in order to keep the 3G crew happy, it is very strange to me that we should now balk at approving an Informational
