Subject: My ID on addressing

PIP folks:

Before my holiday vacation, I put out an ID on what I have called
"NAP-based addressing."  Unfortunately, I was not explicit enough in
my request message, so it got filed under the DNS WG (I had expected
it to be draft-wollman-...).  Oh, dear, another mailing-list I have to
join and see what they're saying about me.

In any event, I'd like to encourage everybody to take a look at
draft-ietf-dns-nap-00.{txt,ps}, and let me know what you think.  The
ideas set out there are basically my idea of how to solve the
Addressing Problem and the Mobile Host Problem (which I guess we could
call "ROAD-complete", by analogy with "AI-complete") in the context of
PIP, in a way which doesn't completely break the architecture of the
existing DNS.
