Viewpoint consistency: Insufficient evidence to assess consistency
Sherbin proposes separating identifiers from locators so routing can use location while customers choose identifiers. This is a technical alternative, not a complete endorsement or rejection of the allocation proposal.

Assessment: Insufficient evidence to assess consistency · Sherbin proposes separating identifiers from locators so routing can use location while customers choose identifiers. This is a technical alternative, not a complete endorsement or rejection of the allocation proposal.
Conditions: Only one statement about this policy is available; no change of position can be assessed.
IPv6 address is long enough to break ID/LOC link allowing routing solution to be based e.g. on LOC only and leaving ID function to a complete customer discretion as an imbedded purpose.
2006-2: Micro-allocations for Internal Infrastructure · 2005-1: Provider Independent IPv6 Assignments for End-sites
Assessment: Consistent · Opposing unilateral changes to shared address conventions is compatible with customer control of identifiers inside a common routing architecture. The two statements concern different kinds of control and show no direct contradiction on that point.
Conditions: This comparison is limited to the two cited arguments; it does not establish long-term consistency or a final vote on either proposal.
Ownership implies control. If owner decides using 96 instead of 128-bits it impedes the system.

Viewpoint consistency: Insufficient evidence to assess consistency
Sherbin objects to ownership that lets an owner change address length and impair interoperability. This practical objection does not establish his position on every provision of the micro-allocation proposal.

It is practicality rather than good vs. evil. Ownership implies control. If owner decides using 96 instead of 128-bits it impedes the system.
