Washam,

Thank you for the detailed reaction.

Excellent.

Natural question indeed.
This is because the scope is larger than just tunneling mechanisms.
Thus, it won't be necessary, in in comparison documents, to play with various 
acronyms.
CPE and AFTR seem to be the most generic ones.

Tunnel solutions also need that a CPE receiving an IPv6 packet can 
differentiate  the 4rd packet from any IPv6 packets destined to intra-site 
hosts.
By having the 4rd specific IID, it is achieved without depending on a specific 
protocol ID for encapsulation.

It was supposed to be implicit by its being "processed as though it would be a 
CPE port.
It can be made more explicit in a later version.

The idea is that the suffix is _after_ the CPE IPv6 suffix, and therefore 
doesn't need to appear in Fig 1.

Cases are possible where the previous fields don't reach 64 bits.
An example could be added in a later version.

Yes.
This is a consequence of the additional objective of UPnP friendliness.
Xiaohong could probably tell more if you need it.

CPE prefix lengths may be different. (It is the Domain prefix length that is 
given in the rule.)
This is key to be able to assign port sets of different sizes (including 64K) 
to different customers (at least when the CPE-cascade option isn't necessary).
