I need to bring this up again.  We talked about the "out of zone" host issue
at the SLC session, but now I'm not sure if the alternative I described
(first sent to the list by Rick Wesson [1]) is the best way to tackle this
problem.  As I started to look at the needed I-D updates I did a chalk talk
with some of my implementers, and they believe that Asbjorn's suggestion may
be more efficient to operate and easier to implement as it keeps
host-related protocol operations consistent.

I didn't see any objections to Asbjorn's suggestion on the list, just Rick's
alternative and related discussion.  If there _are_ objections, now would be
a good time to raise them.
