1.
On-link path MTU being a well defined concept, having two different default 
transmit MTUs for on-link and off-link makes a lot of sense.
+1 for this idea.
+1 also for this discussion to take place in a larger context than the 6rd RFC. 
(But 6man could IMHO be a better place than MIF, because the solution also 
concerns single-interface hosts.)

2.
Even better than TWO default transmit MTUs, hosts should in my understanding 
have FOUR: on-link and off-link, IPv4 and IPv6.
Agreed?
(Of course, hosts that discover larger MTUs for some e2e paths can, 
independently from default values, apply these MTUs to these identified paths.)
