As another author of that RFC, I would object strongly to that. The
(purely informational) draft documents the pros and cons of the
64-bit boundary, why it exists, and impacts of changing it
(assumptions made). It does not preclude any such future change.
Alex, I recall at the time you had the view you are expressing now,
but chose to remain an author. I think you now have to live with
that choice!
But nothing precludes a new draft being written on the subject.
Tim,
Thank you for the recall of that time; which confirms me I did say it.
I will consider new draft being proposed in the subject. IT will say
something like "there is no 64bit boundary, the IIDs are variable length".
I wait a little for the rate limitation.
Alex
