Here is what I hope is the final text that specifies the deprecation of the
"IPv4-compatible IPv6 address". Included below are the revised sections
"IPv6 Addresses with Embedded IPv4 Addresses" and "IANA Consideration".
Please review. I hope to submit an update draft tomorrow.
2.5.5.1 IPv4-Compatible IPv6 Address
The "IPv4-compatible IPv6 address" is now deprecated because the current IPv6 transition mechanisms no longer use them. New or updated implementations are not required to support this address type. Existing implementations and deployments may continue to use these addresses.
Can we just drop that last sentence altogether as it seems somewhat contrary to the rest of the paragraph?
I tend to agree. If we are explicitly telling them to stop using them, then it seems to be over kill to tell them that they can continue to use them.
