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

Isn't this making a huge assumption from the location determination POV?
How does the LIS/LS know that a location request for a network prefix
applies to a single target? Is it assumed the resultant location
determination will understand the complete IP addressing scheme?
