Unfortunately that hasn't panned out quite as planned, and we are in a situation where all kinds of configuration options are added to RAs. This document proposes a new universal option for RA in a self-describing data format, with the list of elements maintained in an IANA registry, with greatly relaxed rules for registration.}, }
