Hi -

The analysis of AgentX protocol in this I-D is incorrect.
The ability to represent an IPv4-specific data type is necessary
to the protocol's operation, and has no bearing whatsover on
its ability to represent IPv6 addresses or operate in IPv6
environments.

Section 5.091 should be replaced with "There are no IPv4 dependencies
in this protocol."  Section 7.3.26 should state that there are no issues.

an all IPv6 Internet, many interim steps will be taken. One of these steps is the evolution of current protocols that have IPv4
dependencies.  It is hoped that these protocols (and their implementations) will be redesigned to be network address independent,
but failing that will at least dually support IPv4 and IPv6.  To this end, all Standards (Full, Draft, and Proposed) as well as
Experimental RFCs will be surveyed and any dependencies will be documented.
