That would imply that every standards track routing protocol that wants to
implement v4-via-v6 needs to negotiate a downref.  I'm afraid it might
discourage people from implementing v4-via-v6, and I also don't think
that's a good usage of the ADs' limited time.

Perhaps my experience is unusual, but that's not what I've seen: the whole
reason we started the Babel WG was because Alia refused a downref.  She
explicitly requested that we make Babel into a Standards Track protocol if
we wanted to use it in Homenet.

I agree, the abstract is badly written.  Can you please confirm whether
I'm allowed to rewrite the abstract without restarting WGLC?
