Indeed - we could have easily ended up with TCP/UDP over CLNP (TUBA)
as IPng, as it worked just fine...
Ultimately, the concerns about potential change control arguments with ITU
resulted using CLNP's address format for IPv6, only with a fixed length.
(Those dealing with virtualization today will curse loudly someday when they
discover that we actively chose to undo existing, working variable length
addressing in defining IPv6...)
