While I support the edit to delete unnecessary and non-active verbiage, I think it is overly pedantic and do not find the current wording at all misleading or confusing. > 2.

While we’re turning the crank, can we please fix the title since IPv4 is no longer relevant to the proposal and there’s really no equalization happening?
