It does matter where some IPv6-only middle boxes do DPI (a point that justifies 
to standardize also T if E is standardized instead of U)

Right. 4rd-U doesn't follow RFC6145. 
This point is just to emphasize that reasons that led to no CNP in RFC6145 
don't apply to 4rd-U (no contradiction).

Of course, not supporting a feature is simpler than supporting it, even if it 
is simple, but the benefit of this feature is then lost (in this instance, 
benefit is one standard behavior instead of two).
