Re: IP version-independent app development guidelines?

["JORDI PALET MARTINEZ" <jordi.palet@consulintel.es>]

I agree that this work is important, and is a good starting point.

As I'm not expert in the applications part, I forwarded it to people that is already working in applications, so they can try to
contribute.

Regards,
Jordi
