Some equipment doesn't use any mac at all to generate the DUID which is perfectly acceptable in the related RFC. If the DUID always used the mac, then we wouldn't need this draft at all. 

> I have not yet attempted to determine why we failed to match the

> 1. Private equipment for which we do not have a MAC in the DB
> 2. The DUID generated used a MAC we don't have in the DB
> 3. The MAC we have is wrong.
> 4. etc
