Hi Tim (and all),
Firstly to let everyone know this document has finally passed through Public comment period and now has a few minor updates (see below) from the GGF Editors. Once these are made they have assured us it will be published.
Tim (and potentially others editors) - if you could make the updates to your document and then resubmit it that would be great.
Let me know if there are any problems.
Many thanks,
Piers O'Hanlon

Regarding the IP version independence guidelines doc, the longest possible IPv6 address is not 39 characters like
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000
rather it can be
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:123.123.123.123
which is 50 characters.
Other changes to apply (these are all minor): - - Insert current date in p1 header - - Work through the document looking at all occurrences of the word "should." Generally, this should be changed to a different word or phrase ("the authors recommend..." or "for compatibility, developers might..."). This is to make sure "should" is not ambiguous compared to its use in a specifications document. You don't need to change every "should," but please change those that can without needing to perform verbal gymnastics. - - since the table of contents spans pages, go ahead and start it at the top of the 2nd page (leaving blank space after the abstract on the first page) - - spell out IPv6 and IPv4 on first use, i.e., "the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)". Also spell out GGF, WG, IETF and any other acronyms on first use. - - remove extra hard return prior to 5.6 - - Section 7, security: I think it's worthwhile mentioning at least two items here. One is the role of IPsec, which is mentioned earlier. Seems to me that security-conscious developers might choose IPv6 in order to use IPsec. Second is to mention the possible dangers of failure by developers to account for the possibility of either protocol being used. Whether to mention these or other security items is up to you, but from my point of view these are security considerations that are worth mentioning. Thanks for your work on this document! Once you have addressed the above (either by responding or going ahead with changes), upload the final document as a .doc and it will be published. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Greg Newby (2004-11-04 15:57:19) Per email from Piers, I will provide a little editorial feedback, then will go ahead and approve these information documents for publication (tracker #981 & 982). - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Greg Newby (2004-11-02 09:10:59) gbn: Sent email to Piers O'Hanlon requesting his feedback on the effectiveness of public comment for this and associated document #982.
