Hi Adrian,

I parse your paper as follows:

- There are many valid reasons to include more information in IP headers
- We can encode this information in an IPv6 address, but risk overloading its semantic
- Let's explore previous attempts, discovering their benefits and risks

There should probably be a companion paper, it which we explore the relative cost and benefits of encoding this information in IPv6 Hop-by-hop and Destination Options. While such encoding will require vendors to produce more complete IPv6 implementations, it will also avoid the risks associated with overloaded semantics.

                                                                   Ron
