Fred,

I would challenge you to make OMNI entirely free from semantic addresses.
That would also help the working group understand what benefits semantic addresses bring to OMNI. 
And what the tradeoffs would be. 

Cheers,
Ole

I think managing that would require first moving it from "deprecated" to "unallocated" then waiting a good long time for that to percolate through the industry's consciousness.  Only then would I think it safe to re-allocate.  It seems simpler to use ULAs (or ask for a new allocation, if you really believe that is necessary).
