Randy, I suggested some very precise requirements text to take account of the
fact that there is a lot of running and shipped code in existing products that 
is simply not going to get rewritten that quickly. Like it or not, multi6
has to coexist with vanilla IPv6, and that generates its own set of
requirements.
