FYI, To be a little more clear, RFC1577 clients are not required to arp
for itself.  The update I-D to RFC1577 has made a change to require this
behavior to support the updated client registration to the ATMARP service.
This update was an approved change by the WG, so I suspect it will
continue as the new registration procedure when the update I-D makes it
to proposed status.
