Subject: Re: Policy of IPv6 DNS Discovery

Tim,

Do you think Architectural Principle 3.2 is being misinterpreted in
this discussion (regarding DNS configuration), or should AP3.2 be amended,
or should we deprecate IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration?

I ask in all seriousness, because IMHO the IETF as a whole may not be
keeping AP3.2 as firmly in mind as it should...

I'm also a little leery of lurching off into a philosophical black hole on
the dnsop mailing list, so any declaration of "out of scope" will be heeded.
Perhaps discussion of AP3.2 might move to the problem-statement mailing list?

- Ralph
