Hi Fred:

As I've tried to point out, what I find in the draft is still insufficient. Comparing against just the DUID-UUID is not sufficient.

You need to explain why the existing forms (-LL, -LLT, -UUID) are insufficient; not just propose well I'll put my v6 address into the DUID-UUID as it is also 128 bits (but prefer not to overload as doesn't match UUID format). That's why you MUST NOT use DUID-UUID for your proposes (placing the IPv6 address into it).

As an example, look at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6355#section-2 as that clearly provides details as why DUID-UUID has benefits over the 3 other formats at the time as why it should be a standardized format. You need material such as this. Without it, I would strongly recommend against this work because there is no rational for needing it (other than "hey I like this better.").

If you don't want to provide these arguments, then I highly recommend you use the DUID-EN under the AERO or whatever enterprise id you want to specify.

- Bernie

Another high-level point. People seem to forget that this all got started with a *draft*, and the draft does go into detailed discussion that many of the questioners seem not to have read:

https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-templin-duid-ipv6-01.txt

The draft does discuss the relation to DUID-UUID at length. But, if people are fine with my putting a non-UUID 128-bit quantity in a DUID-UUID that is cool and I'm happy to do it - just let me know if that is what you want.
