    Right. ... It's not just that we have to tolerate these "pockets" ...
    the various IPv* plans must not deal with them in just a transition plan,
    since the transition will never be finished.  The bags have to be given
    more respect than that.

Well, if everyone signs onto that, than we can stop most of the debate and all
go home, since we've just chosen x-NAT (x as yet to be decided), and nobody's
working on NAT anymore (unless Van has been slaving away in silence, knowing
what was going to happen and not being able to deal with the rest of us taking
for ever to wake up).
