Checksum neutral is also recommended in  
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6296#page-10

   Yup. RFC 6052 section 4.


do you mean the following paragraph:

No. See my response to Ole.


1. as a stateless address mapping, RFC6052 doesn't assumes any stateful
NAT64 is also required to use checksum-neutral address -- liberal to others

Not sure what you mean. Agree that checksum neutrality does not help stateful 
NAT64. I'm talking about stateless NAT64.


2. as a operational option, RFC6052 considers having checksum-neutrality
through, e.g., choosing proper prefix if possible -- conservative to itself

Yes.


3. comparing with RFC6145, the latter doesn't assume there MUST be a
checksum-neutral address but keep adjusting L4 checksum -- conservative
to itself

Yes.

Checksum neutrality still rocks. ;)

i am not against that checksum neutrality is useful but i don't think it it 
wise to write it into a standard, forcing others doing. on the other hand, even 
we write it in, we'd better not to have it as a reason for disabling the 
L4-checksum adjustment. using CNP to REPLACE L4-checksum adjustment is a wrong 
direction.

it is good to have a checksum-neutral address format, if situation allows, as a 
deployment option, rather than a mandatory element in standard. because it can 
only play the role of a complement in some cases. that's my point.

hope it clarifies. ;-)
