Hi,

I recently submitted an I-D
draft-robachevsky-mandating-use-of-ipv6-examples-00.txt, mandating use
of IPv6 in examples in RFCs.

I was reading some pretty recent drafts and noticed that authors
continue using IPv4 in their examples. This is probably more convenient,
but is not really forward thinking. Also, the prevalence of IPv6
examples will send a strong message that IPv4 is essentially a legacy
protocol.

I wonder if this WG is interested in progressing this document as a WG
item.

Thanks,

Andrei
