To reduce this to the most trivial (and put it in IPv4 terms)... Is the configuration of 127.0.0.1 "administratively configured" as the loopback address? Clearly no human intervention is needed to make it happen, yet there is no "process" that is run. I think the 4291 quote is not very helpful since it defines "administratively configured" as "not automatically derived." In particular, an NMS might be unsupervised and include software that issues addresses as if it were a human making configuration choices. That is clearly "automatic" yet still qualifies as "administratively configured" in my mind. This document is trying to use a different definition of "administratively configured" as Peter has stated. I don't believe this has to be derived from 4291, but perhaps it should be clearly stated in this document as he has offered. Peter/authors: you have some minor edits to do, and perhaps you can work up a clear definition and include it early in the document with a statement like "In this document, the term administratively configured is used to mean..."
