[speaking as WG member]

Two comments..

1. Section 3 has this text - "This TLV is only applicable to OSPFv2.".
     I believe, this should also be applicable to RFC5838, i.e. for IPv4 
AF's

2. Section 3 and 4 describes the scope as SHOULD be domain-wide. I 
personally don't see any real use cause of any lessor scope (Area or 
Link) since we have mechanisms to generate routable IP address for those 
scopes already. So I would suggest we limit the scope of this document 
to be "MUST be domain-wide". Any concerns with that?
