If you do, then please try to do it in terms of the mapping
described in draft-carpenter-ip6-nsap-map-00.txt and let
us know whether it works.

However it is FAR too soon to do this except as a paper exercise.
Despite having co-authored the NSAP mapping proposal for IPv6,
I am not yet convinced that it is any use or that it will ever
be standardised. There are several alternative approaches to
OSI/IPv6 under discussion.
