[Qi] This is not about implementations. But about the conflicts of two parts in 
one protocol.

[Qi]You mean implementing the preferred part with a method that is conflicting 
with the  base protocol? I don't see a reason why we should do that. 
There is another protocol (e.g. lw4over6) perfectly suitable for the scenario, 
which is optimized by design. Vendors don't have to waste energy figuring out 
how to optimize.
