Re: SIP now IPv6

[Dave Crocker <[e-mail]>]

Hans-Werner,

    Or Jon could assign some version number for "any experimental version."

Or you could simply let Jon do the job he has been doing so well for
the last 20 years, without interference.  He was petitioned for
a number assignment.  He made one.  There is no problem with that
assignment, except in your mind's eye, at this stage.  If we discover
technical difficulties, it is fair to predict that reasonable
adjustments will be made.
    
    Besides that, I agree with Dave Crocker in that SIPers/IPAEers are
    politizising by getting a formal number assignment out of a sparse
    space earlyon. And trying to win PR battles with immediate announcements,
    as was just demonstrated yesterday.

Hans-Werner, when you issued your heated message to the IAB, yesterday,
that was bad enough.  You now are including a wider audience.  This
is the second major effort on your part to attack our effort, of which
I am aware.  It is based on silly and inapprpriate misinterpretation.
Please stop or at least take it off-line.

I don't know why you feel inclined toward such attacks and don't know why
you feel inclined towards interpreting events with such distortion.  Last
time, your attack was based on your failure even to read summaries of
our work, much less review of the specification.  This time, you are
turning a simple administrative event into something evil.

Perhaps you haven't noticed today's date.  You might consider taking
its intended spirit to heart.

Dave
