Hi Satoru,

1. I don't know whether the new draft has been discussed in DT, but
has it achieved consensus within the DT?
what's more, this draft hasn't got the consensus in the softwires WG
where the mdt-map-03 draft was adopted as WG draft before it was
submitted.  l'm wondering how this
draft-XX-softwire-mapping-address-and-port-04 got adopted as a WG
draft.

2. From the draft, I can feel that this mode is NOT the kind with
other rules.  it is stated separately with others unnaturally.

3. AFAIK, stateless solutions are featured with decouple of IPv4 and
ipv6 addredssing, which leads to no states kept on the carrier side.
once you abandon the feature using so called  1:1 mode which has to
maitain state (no matter how you try to hide the fact),  MAP will
become neither total stateless nor stateful. this does no good to
promote MAP for further development.

BRs!
