Hi Luigi,

> I would like to encourage the WG to post their thoughts about Dino’s proposal of a new LCAF type for Encapsulation Format.

I keep worrying about the implementation consequences of stuffing so much different types of information into an AF. That concern isn't only for this new LCAF type though but about feature creep in LISP/LCAF in general.

Cheers,
Sander
