Perhaps. But that's a SHOULD, not a MUST; it's possible to make useful
observations without having every single implementation detail, quite often.

You continue to put your home network up as an examplar, Owen, for many
things. I don't think it's an exemplar of most of the things you do --
it is *specifically* not a Home Network as that term of art is, I think,
currently understood by most people, even though it's a network, in
a home.

I will look up what those are.
I'm not wilfully blind, and I don't have opinions that are unchangeable.

I'll do that, thanks. Has ORA done an IPv6 book? My Borders seems to be
having a sale...
