Please avoid inventing my thoughts to then criticize them.
The key service offered by 4rd-U is complete IPv4 transparency (a MAP-E 
property) combined with compatibility with IPv6-only O&M-tools (a MAP-T 
property). Checksum neutrality is just a tool.

The need for an IPv6 6.1 is AFAIK an invention of yours, not something needed 
by 4rd-U.

(*) I said, and confirm, that my personal work is to achieve a single standard, 
not to have 3.  
My appreciation is that 4rd-U is more than ever the best candidate for this 
since the idea of having only MAP-T OR MAP-E on standard track has ben 
abandoned.

Conditions in which the 4rd-U approach has been rejected, in an improvised 
meeting in Taipei, has already been commented.

There has been after that no alternative to a separate work, approved by the 
chair. 
result is the self contained and complete 4rd-U specification, which, despite 
aggressive comments made on the list and in meetings, has already arisen 
substantial interest in the WG.
