Just FYI: RFC-1884 was obsoleted by RFC 2373, which would also be
replaced with draft-ietf-ipngwg-addr-arch-v3-00.txt as a draft
standard RFC in the near future.

Also, a separate document "draft-ietf-ipngwg-scoping-arch-00.txt" (I
believe the 01 version will soon be available, though) might be useful
to understand the scope architecture.

p.s. 6bone-jp@wide.ad.jp is not very suitable for such a
specification-related question. The list is to discuss IPv6 network
operation in Japan.

I think the followings are more suitable:

IETF ipngwg mailing list: ipng@sunroof.eng.sun.com
IPv6 users mailing list: users@ipv6.org
