[ppml] IPv6 incentive policy

[Scott Leibrand]

Are you sure #9 is the most important?  I thought it was #10.  :-)

I'm also interested to know what the units of D are.  You said the 
"number of delays".  I think you meant days, but in that case D would 
always be 1 until C got larger than F.  Perhaps you meant for D to be 
measured in years, such that if F is 100x as big as C, you'd have a 
delay of .01 years (3.65 days)?
