Dear WG-folks,

out of curiosity and because I got asked this question, here we go:

Is the use of "0" as the interface ID in an IPv6 network "clean"?
I haven't found any indication that "0" is reserved (as in IPv4), or
should not be used, but there's a lingering feeling that it may cause
trouble, somewhere, somehow.

Any input appreciated, tia,
Wilfried.
