Sure.

Yes. But I am just talking about being open to applications/OSes which
_would_ be aware of port restriction. The problem I see with the fact,
that you don't do this at the moment, is that in a while, anoter I-D 
will pop up, filling this very small gap.

Of course. I don't think you should be defining the implementation. I just
think that you should leave it open so that if someone is going to implement
such a restricted system, he can then connect directly onto the IPv6 network.

All other A+P drafts do this, I really can't see a valid reason why you
could not do this with "4via6 translation" as well.

Yes, this is the difference. Xing Li, one of the authors of dIVI, also points
out that your draft "lacks the difinition of suffix, therefore is not 
compatible 
to IPv4/IPv6 translation RFCs." How do you see this?

Anyway, are we sure, that we need two different drafts to cover these
differences? I mean, the principle is the same, isn't it? In my opinion, 
there is an inflation of I-Ds and I think that with some additional 
synchronization
of efforts we could avoid doubling work of each other. But I may be wrong.

I think that the same goes for 4rd and SA46T-AS, for example.

Thanks,
Nejc
