	because KAME code is trying to be the reference code for IPv6
	(just like BSD IPv4 was for IPv4 protocol), we really cared whatever
	the spec writer said.  and we really checked with Steve Deering
	tons of times.  if you are in doubt try to find him on a fishing boat.

	i'm serious as hell about the content of the message on Apr27.
	i used foul language but i put a warning at the top, so it's your
	own responsiblity if you got offended in any way.
