Re: WGLC draft-ietf-v6ops-icmpv6-filtering-recs-00.txt

[Elwyn Davies <elwynd@dial.pipex.com>]

Please note that the title in the file has been changed to
"Recommendations for Filtering ICMPv6 Messages in Firewalls"
in line with the file name and the discussion in Dallas.  This is 
necessary, because notwithstanding previous discussions in the wg,
the IESG is unwilling to sanction a BCP for which there is relatively 
little operational experience.

The changes from draft-ietf-v6ops-icmpv6-filtering-bcp-01.txt apart from 
changing the title are editorial plus updating of references to take 
into account the publication of rfc2463bis (RFC4443).

Due to a misreading of the I-D database, I have managed to replace 
RFC2461 with RFC4311 which is *not* rfc2461bis.  Both rfc2461bis and 
rfc2462bis are hung up waiting for resolution of the M/O bits problem - 
hopefully this has been resolved just today so these drafts should go to 
RFC fairly shortly.
