Hi Ralph,

Thanks for the pointer. I had previously read
draft-baker-homenet-prefix-assignment-00 but had not yet seen the -01. I
just read through it again in depth and I agree that we are describing
similar technology. It appears that draft-baker covers the high-level
"home networks could use DHCPv6" while draft-gmann takes a "here's how to
make DHCPv6 Relay work in home networks." If that's a correct observation,
perhaps we should combine forces to document the mechanisms more
completely? I think we could find a way to merge the detailed procedure
and requirements for using DHCPv6 relay from draft-gmann into draft-baker.
The next step would likely be to add detailed steps for using unicast
DHCPv6.

Thoughts?

~Chris

PS - I unfortunately will not be in Paris next week but Chris Donley will
be and I'm sure he'd be happy to talk this through a bit more if you
and/or Fred are amenable and available.
