Without going to that level of abstraction, we have to accept that 
"engineers" have failed the technical test in here. In restricting 
themselves to machines many "engineers" miss the main issue which is the 
network and its interconnectivity with other systems and - most of all - 
with people.

This only shows that IAB has to speed up its thinking on the network 
architecture - so the obvious is entered in the IETF thinking: what rules 
the world is the HNS (Human Naming System) long before the DNS.

All the DN problems over debated here are mnemonic/domainname layer 
violations as would Leissig say. And they will remain and develop as long 
as IETF and ICANN do not acknowledge the three access layers ... 
brainware/mnemonics, software/domainnames, machine/IP addresses.

Now, Stephane; I did not read the paper of Joe. But there is in here a 
strong experience about layer  violations (not only at IETF layers 8 and 
9). So I will not rebuke Joe and Jeff on this, but I will ask them how IPv6 
can affect security according them  (even if I see several ways, not 
specific to IPv6 but as drawback of the Internet architecture added to more 
possibilities).
