Hi,

While the ILNP document set has been significantly edited
and rewritten, it is important to understand that the 
technical content has not changed.

The recommended reading order would begin with [ILNP-ARCH],
then [ILNP-ENG] and [ILNP-DNS], then continue with other
drafts. 

Some highlights of what did change:
	- The former [ILNP-INTRO] was split into 2 documents.
	- Architecture was separated into [ILNP-ARCH].
	- Shared engineering was separated into [ILNP-ENG].
	- ILNPv4 engineering details are more crisply documented
          than before, in [ILNP-ICMPv4] and [ILNP-v4opts].
	  These describe one set of engineering choices;
	  the architecture also could be mapped to IPv4 with 
	  other engineering choices.

A new document, [ILNP-ADV], describes several optional 
advanced deployment scenarios.  These scenarios aren't
really new, since they have been present in peer-reviewed
research papers, but they are now pulled together into
a single I-D to help make the ILNP document set more
self-contained.  This also permits a more crisp distinction
between normal operation of ILNP and various optional
scenarios that a given end site might choose to deploy.

These documents had few edits:
	[ILNP-DNS]
	[ILNP-ICMPv6]
	[ILNP-NONCEv6]

Yours,
