RE: [MBONED] addrarch: resurrect IPv4 unicast-prefix-based?

I let the document expire due to lack of strong interest.
If there is interest, I am willing to continue as editor.

I am not aware of current open issues or unresolved comments, but 
there are some boilerplate things that would need to be fixed up to
conform to the latest I-D guidelines (the copyright notice for instance)
before resubmitting.
