[ipv6-wg at ripe.net] 9/9/2006 : ip6.int shutdown?

  I think that's not exactly true ;-)

  . The reverse name tree for IPv4 is already located in the arpa.
    subtree. I cannot see any good reason why the same service for IPv6
    should use a different TLD.
    (Actually I don't see a good formal reason for not using in-addr.arpa.
    - but I presume that there are good technical reasons...)

  . The mandate of the int. TLD (to support international treaty
    organisations) is not exactly compatible with the use for IPv6
    reverse name tree delegations :-)
