Well, the end of my conversation is at

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg14948.html

Summary: "an update that makes it easy for the implementer to find the changes is better."

If it wasn't clear, I believe this document is technically done and needs
to be advanced, but it does need editorial work as indicated above.

Also there was Dave's review:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg14984.html

In IESG parlance that all seems like "new I-D needed" to me.

Regards
   Brian Carpenter
