Hold the phone. We now have a  robust and useful case for IPv6 fragmentation when
applied to tunnels. Can we still update frag-fragile before it gets published? Or, do we
have to wait and update it *after* it gets published? I would prefer before, because
allowing to publish as-is with knowledge that an important update is coming just
perpetuates the undeserved bad name given to fragmentation 33 years ago.

Also, what about intarea-tunnels? That one shows up as expired, but shouldn't we
dust it off for publication too (after updating to accommodate new findings)?

Thanks - Fred
