As to the original question, I have a couple of questions:

1. What is gained by promoting rfc6877 "464XLAT: Combination of Stateful
and Stateless Translation”?  Regardless of whether the correct promotion
path is BCP or Proposed Standard, what is the goal?

2. rfc2026 “The Internet Standards Process”  says a BCP is the "best
current thinking on a statement of principle or on what is believed to be
the best way to perform some operations.”  What principle or what
operations is 464xlat best for?


The chairs are working out how to handle this request, and answers to
these questions will help us.

Thanks,

Lee
