As a point of clarification (and as Scott already pointed out), the
original author's intent was specific to IPv6. Although this policy
also affects IPv4, that is not it's intended or stated primary
purpose.

As such, it may be worthwhile to look at this proposal from the
perspective that we *are* talking about this near the dawn of the IPv6
Internet.

Just some food for thought,
