I agree the document makes it clear throughout that then mpls dataplane
supports ipv4 and ipv6  however in the short Overview at the top I think it
should say the following:

SR’s control-plane can be applied to both IPv4 and IPv6 MPLS data-planes,
and
does not require any additional signaling (other than the regular IGP)

Wording seems misleading leaving out IPv4.
