Re: IAB last call... Re: [ipv6-dir] Re: Updated document

Hi,

I agree with Scott that we don't really have to wait for _exact_
questions before providing them an answer. I think providing them a
bigger answer to them that they in paper asked for is just ok.

However, I would be careful to distinguish the work that is already done
in the IETF (RFCs), in WGs, just started, and what somebody has deployed
in the Internet based on IETF protocols. I think IETF's role is to
describe what is done and what has consensus at least as a direction.
More forward than that can be just commented that IETF is working on it
(with no current consensus on details).

Cheers,

Jonne.
