Thanks for this highly readable and useful document.

Regarding the distaste for the dummy 192.0.0.8 address, it seems to me that
this is a case of perfect as the enemy of good. A conflict-averse pragmatist,
foreseeing the objection, might simply have left Section 3 out of the document.
I don’t think that would have been a better outcome. I note furthermore that
the 192.0.0.8 mechanism isn’t even being specified here — it’s specced in RFC
7600, and is just offered as an implementation option here.
