There is one thing in 1122/1123 and 1812 that is not in those kinds

1122/1123 and 1812, you'll ind several sections that say "we require
X", and follow that with a "discussion" section that says "we thought
about X, Y, and Z, there were proponents of each, the arguments were
X', Y', and Z', and we chose X for this reason". I would presume that
what you're really looking for in a 1812-for-IPv6 is not "we require
X" as much as "for this reason". Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ah.  What I'm looking for is a list of check-boxes to include in an
implementation specification for an edge router.  It can be references
to a whole bunch of RFCs and "packaged" as a BCP.  The discussions you
describe are better in the individual papers.

Is that a good time for me to point to the URL in my sig?
