There are two sides to this.

A) We need to buy time to get adoption of IPv6. Go for swamp or 
anything that is easy to implement.
B) We need to fix IPv6. I am voting for 8+8 or 16+16. That will take 
time. We will need a way to migrate there that is relatively pain-free 
and that can cope with the swamp above. This will also make away with 
the Moore limitation (if such a thing exists).

Who want's to write the drafts?
