Actually, if you look at trends, they are increasingly tightly coupled. Internet access by humans is increasingly through single-owner devices (recently laptops, but increasingly smart phones and the like, which are typically single-owner). Indeed, I've seen projections that assert that sometime this year more people will access the Internet though Mobile Wireless devices than through traditional computers. The primary method of Internet access is changing... > An IPv6 address identifies an end-node, and the traffic to or from > it, but does not always identify the human that caused that traffic > to occur. True, but if it correctly identifies the human in 70, 80, or 90% of the cases, that's likely good enough for "innovation" to move in and exploit such characteristics. Up levelling, this draft simply reopens a discussion that was had back when stateless addrconf was first defined. Today, there is no easy way for the network adminstrator to "configure" clients. When stateless addrconf is used, there are pretty much no mechanisms for communicating network preferences or policy. Allowing/disallowing temporary addresses is one instance of a broader problem. Another example of policy that would be useful to commnicate is address selection preferences. Hence, if we are going to define something like an "H bit", we should really look at the more general problem. And, even if there was a mechanism for the network to communicate its preferences/policies, we'd still have the problem that end hosts could simply ignore or override those preferences. There is no good/easy/simple answer here folks. Thomas
