Maoke - i fully agree with you as zero-lengthed EA-bits is a naturally possible 
case of MAP. however, to my understanding, even in this case the Figure 7 of 
MAP addressing architecture is still appliable and therefore it implies PSID 
length also equals to zero. this is the real meaning of 1:1...

Satoru - Let's think that a CE provisioned with following BMR comes from MAP 
DHCPv6 options.
BMR:
 o Rule-ipv6-prefix  : {exact matched with CE's delegated prefix}  o 
Rule-ipv4-prefix  : x.x.x.x/32
 o EA-length         : 0
 o Port-param option : {PSID/length}
This BMR could be a LW46 provisioning means.
(http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/softwires/current/msg04466.html )

I don't think 'it implies PSID length also equals to zero' can be derived from 
'zero-lengthed EA-bits' as per the example from Satoru.

On the other hand, when the text of '1:1 mode' and '1:1 case' is mentioned in 
the draft, I'd like to know what the 1st '1' & the 2nd '1' stand for 
respectively.

Right, it isn't a 'mode' which changes any MAP nature.

Thanks for clarification.
