None of us get paid by the pounds of documents generated and claiming
that a wording nit in a non-normative architecture document makes
something a half baked solution is ridiculous.

If someone proposes an editorial change to provide better clarity,
that's fine.  Editorial changes can be made.

If someone wants to reorganize documents with no technical basis
because if violates their sense of architectural purity, then
entertaining such a request just wastes the valuable time of WG
contributors.

ps - We are wasting the valuable time of WG contributors by continuing
this thread.  Nothing of substance has come out of it.  If someone
wants to propose editorial changes that clarify the existing optional
use of the IPv4 L3PID please do so.
