X-Info: Archives for rolc via ftp://ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/ietf-mail-archive/rolc/ Either the hardware type space has its semantics clarified, OR we have a new number space with explicit media/address type semantics. Pick one - I haven't suggested both.

I still don't understand why anyone *cares* about the media type, or
why encoding it in this protocol is useful or desirable.
