Do you mean translators must rate limit, or translators
violate RFC2765:

and use some other number as an ID?

Yes, even rate limiting translators may interfere each other,
which means rate limiting must be done at the IPv6 source
node.

In the ID, there are a lot of references to IPv6.
For example, the following statement of the ID:
Finally, the IPv6 ID field is
32 bits, and required unique per source/destination address pair for
IPv6, whereas for IPv4 it is only 16 bits and required unique per
source/destination/protocol triple.
must be modified as:
Finally, the IPv6 ID field is
32 bits, but lower 16 bits are required unique per
source/destination address pair for
IPv6, whereas for IPv4 it is only 16 bits and required unique per
source/destination/protocol triple.
