Re: [Geopriv] Add IP address prefixes in held-identity-extensions?

I can't think of a reason to object to this. It has somewhat limited applicability in v4, but as you say, v6 addressing is a somewhat more liberal.

Unless I hear arguments to the contrary, I'll include something like this in the next revision of the doc. I'm holding that update on the open issue.
