yes, BIH uses RFC6145 that doesn't claim supporting UDP-Lite. but exactly
speaking, if the "not support" means passing-it-through without checksum
adjustment, A --> B is fine because neither BIH nor NAT64+ does nothing
with the L4, right? B --> A is a question mark, if we use the NAT64+ which
does nothing with the L4 checksum, it is also not a problem. however, if we
use, as you mentioned before, an UDP-Lite-aware update of RFC6146, that may
updates the checksum while the BIH doesn't know that.

my point here is: what is the use case with the details of addressing? if
and only if A1 or A2 is configured with an RFC6052 or a MAP or a 4rd-U
address while NAT64+ has a pool of checksum-neutral IPv6 address to serve B
for the communications, A1 BIH or A2 CE may do the stateless processing
successfuly. if NAT64+ hasn't such a address pool for B, things will fail
because only one among src and dst is checksum-neutral.

1. without the V-octet, CE and NAT64 can also distinguish the 4rd-CE
addresses from others.
2. even with the V-octet, do you mean B's IPv4 address also translated (by
the NAT64+) to a CNP-and-V-containing IPv6 address?

if 2 is true, why you use stateful NAT64+ here for B rather than a
stateless one? if 2 is not true, then the NAT64 can use any arbitrary IPv6
address for B's communications, and such a case results only A's mapped
address is checksum-neutral, and thus anyway L4 adjustment is needed.

if 2 is true, i do suggest you naming NAT64+ as NAT64- instead, because
NAT64 doesn't have the limitation on the IPv6 address pool in use.

3. RFC6535 states, explicitly, "Use of BIH together with a NAT64 is NOT
RECOMMENDED [RFC6180]" (but the above technical discussion can omit this
for the time being).
