RE: [DNA] [Announce] DNA solution framework I-D

["Bound, Jim" <jim.bound@hp.com>]

It's the latter and mostly because of ambiguity and the issues created
by that ambiguity and the resulting work arounds which cause us to go
look at it again and we loop and loop.  This is my past experience.  But
as I responded to Greg I am not against the discussion. But I will be
pleasantly surprised if we can make it work.  

Also think about what the ID does to Mobile implementations because many
of us have implemented mobility (v4 and v6) clients, servers, and
routers if the ID causes major implementation pain it won't fly in the
real world.  As I said to Greg I think AAA should be at least one place
we should look for an ID on link or within a site or part of a network
space within an Internet space.  New IDs will need to be created.

Also we will have to deal with the privacy paranoids too.  They will
show up depending on how we do that too.

Trying to build a global one is an exercise in insanity :--)
