a) The faulty email quoting in Mark's message made it look as if I might
have been advocating NAT66 - not so, that was James in respnse to me.

b) I don't see using proxies as a step backwards. On the contrary,
with home networks in particular likely to contain increasing numbers
of IoT devices with poor security, proxying a network behind a reasonably
secure device seems like an excellent idea.

c) If James is correct about the attitude of ISPs we (for some sense of
"we") need to do something about it. ISPs are motivated by revenue and
OPEX. How can we make support of prefix delegation more attractive to
ISPs?
