Could you document more why you think that DAD/ND would fail if IPv6 addresses 
used to reach 4rd CEs would have a 4rd-distinguishable IID?

This would defeat one important objective: possible operation without ANY 
impact of IPv4 on IPv6 prefixes delegated to CEs.

As such, this would be AFAIK a step backward.
