Host Addressing Conventions [addr-conv 2.8]

[[e-mail]]

I'm a bit concerned about the idea of ``LAN-based'' addresses.  I
thought one of the problems we were trying to solve was the
``multi-homed host problem''.  But unless I misunderstand something
here, it looks like it should be possible to replace all occurrences
of ``LAN'' with ``Area'' and have things still work.  (The
substitution of ``ESIS'' for ``ARP'' is left as an exercise for the
reader.)  Or perhaps when Paul wrote ``LAN'' he meant something akin
to what I mean by an ``Area''.
