Re: [v6ops] New Version Notification for draft-baker-v6ops-cpe-autoconfigure-00.txt

[Fred Baker <[e-mail]>]

In discussion with John Brzozowski, he expressed a concern that CPEs don't come "out of the box preconfigured for IPv6" as they often do for IPv4. I had a recent experience with a new router at my home that made the point in my mind; IPv6 was an "advanced configuration", and the difference between "auto-configure" and "auto-detect" was a little lost on me. 

So I have a question. Do we need to spell this out for CPE vendors? I have spliced together a draft on the topic. I'd welcome comments that might improve it, especially if I have something egregiously wrong. Second, I'm curious whether the working group thinks we need this.

Your thoughts?
