I think that 4941bis should say something about the network cost. Section 3.5 has a paragraph about the client costs of having a large number of addresses, and maybe that's a place to talk about what happens if there are too many. I think that we need some way for a host to recognize that it's used too many temporary addresses. I wish that 6man-grand was able to add some kind of ACK from the routers, but that won't scale. So, we need a heuristic. I would be happy if the document just said that this is a place for future work. I've seen (wired) ubuntu hosts with a screen full of temporary addresses. Maybe that's a bug. ---- I also think that 3.6 should suggest that the enable/disable should be settable on a per-attachment ("ESSID" aka "Provisioning Domain") basis. The text about doing this per-prefix would seem to mostly address this requirement, but I'd prefer to write this differently. Maybe it's enough to start a new a paragraph at "Another site..." I don't know how a "site" will communicate it's need to the OS, except via a trusted administrator. Maybe I missed somethinig?
