Looking forward to see a text proposal!

Regarding (1): our goal was to have a simple and well-defined algorithm
which causes as few as possible load on the DNS - the demarcation points
are following the usual prefix lengths that registries delegate.

Well, a prefix length of /65 should not occur with "regular" IPv6
unicast ... Do we need to open tha can of worms about IPv4 addresses
encoded as v6 addresses etc.?

Thanks,
Sebastian
