@MikeBishop The discussion at IETF 119 leaned toward removing the multiple-IP mode entirely. Are you suggesting that we should keep it?

This PR contains two changes; I'm not making a suggestion with regard to multiple-IP mode, but I think aligning the variable names in the template makes sense. Did both get dropped, or is that being discarded because it's in the same PR?

OK, I've updated this PR to also drop the multiple-IP support entirely.

Comment on lines 54 to 55

Classic HTTP CONNECT proxies can be used to reach a target host that is specified as a domain name or an IP address. However, because only a single target host can be specified, proxy-driven Happy Eyeballs and cross-IP fallback can only be used when the host is a domain name. For IP-targeted requests to succeed, the client must know which address families are supported by the proxy via some out-of-band mechanism, or open multiple independent CONNECT requests and abandon any that prove unnecessary.

Given that target_host can contain either an IP address or a DNS name, this text still seems relevant to the overall doc. Is the removal deliberate, or was the text relocated?

This is deliberately removed, as it's no longer a problem that this draft attempts to address.
