Masataka,

You say: "scope of the document is seemingly wrong."

Well, the scope of the document is to discuss how actual networks
running IPv4 and IPv6 can deal with renumbering. That can't be "wrong";
it is simply what we chose to write about.

If you'd like to start a thread about IPng, can you use a different
subject header please?

Regards
     Brian
