I don't think such a document could formally update in protocol that
should be using unpredictable IDs, since the contraints are different
for each protocol.

This one *could* make sense, however, the constraints are somewhat
different, and procedurally-wise, it may be simpler to work on this I-D
here, than having an I-D that spans 6man and intarea wg(?).

I'd obviously go with this one.

Hopefully not -- if we don't fix this, who would do it? -- Even vendors
have been responsive to this I-D, so one would expect that we do
something about it.

Thanks!
