Re: [Lsr] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-ietf-lsr-isis-area-proxy-03.txt

Hi Tony & WG,

The changes which went into sections 4.3.2 & 4.4.13 do address my
suggestions made earlier to the list. So I do support the current version.

With the option of having a configurable area prefix this delivers quite a
powerful extension.

Also the current text says:

"Other uses of the Area SID are outside the scope of this document. "

Maybe we could state instead:

Other uses of the Area SID and area prefix are outside the scope of this
document.

Many thx,
R.
