Dear Iotops WG

I published yesterday subject draft to describe addressing problems with existing
IP addressing, an proposing a solution.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eckert-intarea-functional-addr-internets/

Many of the probems mentioned exist in what i think is IoT, but not
necessarily "constrained" IoT, but rather industrial or transportation IoT.
So i think at least the problem, but maybe also the solution part of the draft
could be of some interest to iotops, and i would be happy about comments and/or interest in it.
