Please explain > the circumstance in which it would not be an editorial issue. Well, I've seen *many* cases of disagreement whether a particular issue was editorial or substantative, so I wouldn't claim that there is any absolute standard here. And I've been trying not to comment on the specific issue of 2821bis, because I have not reviewed it in detail and make no claim to expertise. Nor am I commenting on whether the specific DISCUSS comments in this case are reasonable or not and whether they are well-formulated or not. If a real domain name, or a real IP address, or a real IP prefix, is used as an example in code, pseudo-code, or in the description of a configuration mechanism, there's a good chance that it will end up in an actual implementation or in an actual configuration file one day (far from the IETF). In my opinion that is a source of technical confusion and possibly of unwanted traffic. So I think there is a strong argument that RFC 2606 values SHOULD be used whenever reasonably possible. That's my opinion; I'm not asserting that it's an IETF consensus or that it necessarily applies to 2821bis. But I do assert that it's a technical argument and not an editorial one.
