draft-acee-ospf-ospfv3-autoconfig-01.txt and Stewart's Question

In response to Stewart Bryant's request, I looked at draft-simpson-isis-ppp-unique-02.txt for
similarities. The only similarity is that both drafts use a random number for a unique router identifier.
IMHO, this technique is obvious enough that there is no need to reference the expired ISIS draft.

I also received some off-list comments from Abhay Roy and Manav Bhatia regarding mitigation of the effects
of duplicate router IDs in the OSPFv3 routing domain prior to duplicate detection and resolution. I
intend to address these in the next revision. At that time, we will ask for WG adoption.

Thanks,
Acee

In support of my supposition of obviousness, I Googled "unique system ID random number" and it yielded
21,800,000 results.
