Qiong: Thanks. We are looking forward to your detailed comments.

with regards to document organization, would it be possible to:

Qiong: I personally think it is a very good suggestion. Both "host 4over6"
and "lightweight 4over6" share the common feature with stateful
per-user-encapsulation, and "lightweight 4over6" is also an address sharing
extension to "host 4over6". I think it would be reasonable to merge these
two documents if the authors of "host 4over6" do not object to it.

Qiong: ok. I will merge it with MAP effort.
