This is a very nice approach. So 4.2.1 would be like

4.2.1.  Shorten as Much as Possible
   If at least two consecutive 16-bit 0 fields are present, the
   symbol "::" MUST be used, and used to its maximum capacity.
   For example, 2001:db8::0:1 is not acceptable, because the symbol "::"
   could have been used to produce a shorter representation 2001:db8::1.
