No. Stalling tactics go nowhere. I sincerely believe that there are 
some serious issues
in the document in its current form. I also believe that those issues 
are fairly
easy to address.

I'm not a partisan of Site Local nor a partisan of those new local 
addresses.
However, if the wg decides to go with it, fine. Once the issues I've 
raised
are taken care of, I'd like to see this document progress quickly so
the wg could move on to other important topics.

I understand that. This is not the case here. There are known issues at 
this point,
they are not difficult to fix, let's fix them now. This is the 
responsibility of the wg.
