Mustapha,

It will fall to me to try to draw some form of consensus out of this discussion
so I have would like to clarify some things.

Are you reporting an interop problem with widely deployed implementations, or an
interop problem with one release of one implementation? The latter is what I
would call a bug, since the problem is a failure to conform to 5036. The former
is, of course, a bigger problem.

Are you reporting a problem that is exclusive to multi-access links? While this
is an important use case, it is a little marginal.

In short, do you have a corner case comprising of:
- multi-access link
- combined legacy v4 nodes and new v6 nodes
- a non-conformant v4 node
...or is the problem larger than that?

Thanks,
Adrian
