Perhaps I'm naive but "implementation-specific" would be good enough for me. Consider the case with IPv4. You've manually configured a couple of DNS servers, then run DHCPv4 to get an address and DNS servers. Do you have to specify how to handle the case? The latest wins. Specifying too exactly how to handle these cases may be a rathole, and not essential. If the users are not pleased with the result, they *will* just disable the mechanism producing results they don't like. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
