Perhaps some of us didn't remember but:
 - I predicted the RFC 3484 will be always at least a phase back from
  what we want.
 - I predicted too it would take a not reasonable amount of time to
  get the document published or updated.
Unfortunately both predictions were right so again I propose to make
this a BCP and *not* a standard track document.

PS: I did this at the iterim meeting in Redmond, WA, in 2001...
(I also suggested to pick up DHCPv6 as the right way to perform
prefix delegation, a proposal which was strongly rejected at this time :-)
