	shipworm. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		A shipworm is not a worm, but a greatly elongated clam.
		The burrow (lined with a calcareous coating produced by the clam’s mantle) is begun when the animal is in its larval stage and is expanded as it grows.
		Shipworms are classified in the phylum Mollusca, class Pelecypoda or bivalvia, order Eulamellibranchia, family Teredinidae.

		Shipworms are not in fact worms at all, but rather a peculiar variety of marine mollusk (Eulamellibranchiata).
		The shipworms belong to several genera of which Teredo is the most commonly mentioned.
		Shipworms do great amounts of damage to wooden hulls and marine piling, and have been the subject of much study to find methods to avoid their attacks.

	Shipworm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Christened by mariners, "termites of the sea," shipworms are parasitic mollusks that thrive in and upon submerged wooden structures, including pilings, bulkheads and the untreated hulls of boats.
		Shipworms also perish when their wooden habitat freezes, becomes too hot, or if the hull is hauled from the water.
		Shipworms do not depend solely on wood for food, but also feed on plankton that they suck in through their siphons.

	Battle Turns in Shipworm War
		Shipworms in the U.S. traditionally flourish in the warm waters of the Pacific, Gulf, and South Atlantic coasts.
		Shipworms are really not worms at all, but marine mollusks similar to clams, with long, worm-like bodies with greatly reduced shells at the end.
		Shipworms have plagued humanity for hundreds of years, until relatively recently when it is believed the tar and oil that began appearing in harbor waters following the Industrial Revolution killed off many of the creatures.

		Shipworm is designed to robustly enable IPv6 traffic through NAT, and the price of robustness is a reasonable amount of overhead, due to UDP encapsulation, transmission of bubbles, and relaying of packets through the Shipworm servers.
		A "Shipworm" is a little saltwater critter that is common in the harbors of warm seas and that digs holes in immersed wood pieces, such as boat hulls or pilings.
		Shipworm packets are always sent from either the Shipworm IPv4 anycast address, or from an IPv4 address and UDP port that is strictly consistent with the encapsulated IPv6 source address; this MUST be checked by servers and clients, as specified in sections 4.2.2 and 4.3.1.

		Abetted by their symbionts, shipworms thrive wherever there's wood and saltwater--in shallow harbors, floating logs, even shipwrecks at the bottom of the ocean.
		Shipworms have also eaten the wood from shipwrecks, laments maritime historian and archeologist Warren C. Riess of the University of Maine in Orono.
		Shipworm populations have also been known to explode near the warm effluent of newly built nuclear power plants.

		The shipworm is a shellfish which, like the mussel, lives in a shell which opens up into two similar parts.
		The shipworm lives in sea water and attaches itself to the wood of wooden-hulled boats and ships, where it causes damage by boring into the wood.
		It apparently lives in the shipworm's special gland, and in contrast to the rumen bacteria of sheep and cows, which are of great variety, the gland of Deshayes seems to contain only the one kind of bacterium.

		According to Turner (1966), the shipworm is a marine bivalve highly specialized for boring into wood.
		The shell is greatly reduced and the long worm-like body is protected by the wood in which it is boring; the shell is modified into a rasp for grinding the wood.
		Quite often a ship's crew had to abandon their ship because it was "rotten" from the holes bored in its bottom by shipworms.

		This is one of the reasons why it was possible to find the royal warship Wasa and other large wooden vessels in such excellent condition after centuries at the bottom of the sea,” adds Carl Olof Cederlund.
		It has not been attacked by shipworm, which, on the other hand, is the case with a kogg from the 13th century off the German Baltic coast.
		It may also be that shipworm from other marine areas has been carried onboard vessels into the Baltic and released with ballast water there.

		Any choice of interim prefix is almost certainly likely to be different than one assigned for production, so I don't particularly care what is used.
		If a 3FFE-based prefix is temporarily requested, I would support allocating it for further testing, but don't think it matters at this stage given the test use of 2003 for this is already underway.
