[ppml] getting converts to V6

[John Paul Morrison]

Privilege?  That sounds very elitist. I would consider it a right to be 
ISP independent. I can take my phone numbers with me - home, business 
and even cell phone numbers now.  So my ISP is allowed to hold "my" IP 
addresses and therefore my businesses hostage (for the greater good of 
the Internet), actually making the phone system more open and 
competitive? Scary thought.

I can't argue with the technical reasons for PA addresses, but setting 
the bar too high for PI addresses is very anti-competitive - not that 
the big ISPs are complaining.
