In looking over LL56, I think the debate disclosed that the text really was unclear. So while there may not have been consensus for Stuart's proposed change, I do think that the text needs to be clarified. For example, the text states: "IPv4 addresses and names which can only be resolved on the local link SHOULD NOT be forwarded, they SHOULD only be sent when a Link-Local address is used as the source address. This strong advice should hinder limited scope addresses and names from leaving the context in which they apply." This text really is unclear. It could be read (and was ready by Stuart and myself) as implying that an LLMNR Response (even one not including a Link-Local address in the RRs) SHOULD only be sent when a Link-Local address is used as the source address. The issue text appears to imply that in fact the following was meant: "IPv4 addresses and names which can only be resolved on the local link SHOULD NOT be forwarded beyond the local link. IPv4 Link-Local addresses SHOULD only be sent when a Link-Local address is used as the source address. This strong advice should hinder limited scope addresses and names from leaving the context in which they apply."
