I'm of the
mindset right now that we should resolve all the other editorial
issues and see if being more precise with the current definitions
doesn't help and just live with the ambiguity as we've lived with it
for other terms.  The important aspect is what happens with the
protocol and I think it's more important to get the normative text
correct.
______________________________________________

It seems to me that the definitions of "retargeting", "redirecting", etc. (with the possible exception of "diversion") are not clear and have never been clear.  Up until 4244bis, this hasn't mattered.  But in 4244bis these allegedly distinct operations cause different things to go on the wire, so we have to make the definitions unambiguous.
