Hi All,

I've just posted draft-kompella-ospf-opaquev2-00.txt that takes
six pages to say "if you see an OSPF v3 LSA with Function Code 10,
treat it as you would an OSPF v2 Opaque LSA".

Comments actively solicited, at least until the negative ones roll in :-)
The main goal is code reuse between v2 and v3; if that isn't achieved,
I'd be interested in knowing why, and how it might be fixed.

Kireeti.
