In that example, the two IPV6 end systems need to be connected by a
virtual link that provides L2 service, e.g. to make ND and ARP work.   Do
you  have suggestions for text to add (and where to add it) that would
make this clearer?

Well, IMHO,  observing the intarea WG's level of engagement here, I
don't think more "cooks" are needed on this topic .   It'd be reasonable
to add a sentence on this topic pointing to the intarea tunnels draft.

Thanks, --David
