I agree.  My company uses a URL-mangler on mail, so I'll trim as best I can.

I think we should just delete this sentence.  "1foo" doesn't look like an IP 
address.


> 2. On the Web example:

How about replacing the second paragraph with this:

Consider another website, which is reachable by a fixed IP address of 
`2001:db8::5c`.  If the two sites refer to the same web service, then the 
certificate might also include this value in an IP-ID to allow clients to use 
the fixed IP address as a reference identity.

As for the example, I added this:

   Likewise, if connecting
   to `https://[2001:db8::abcd]` , it would have a single IP-ID
   reference identifier of `2001:db8::abcd`.

Which fixes the only IPaddr example I could find.

> 3. Clarification on IP address matching

I changed the reference:
For an IP address that appears in a URI-ID, the "host" component of both the
reference identity and the presented identifier must match.  These are parsed 
as either
an "IPv6address" (following {{!RFC3986, Section 3.2.2}}) or an "IPv4address" 
(following {{!IPv4}}).
If the resulting octets are equal, the IP address matches.

I agree with Peter that an explicit prohibition on link-local addresses isn't 
needed.  Do you (strongly?) disagree?

Anyhow, see https://github.com/richsalz/draft-ietf-uta-rfc6125bis/pull/103
