I personally have used 1200 bytes, but I can switch to 1220 if that's
the consensus.  Previously, the consensus was that fragments were good
for the network (which I found rather odd).

What about generating atomic fragments by default, to support stateless
IPv6 UDP service?  Or not generating atomic fragments under any
circumstances?  Would that be a separate discussion?

Thanks,
