I figured it was time to pick on someone else, so I reviewed draft-cui-softwire-b4-translated-ds-lite. I found it really easy to understand, and all I found to change was a couple of typos.

Of course, one reason lw4o6 easier to read than MAP is because it does not describe a port mapping algorithm. The other reason is because the MAP document has to describe the EA bits and their use. But that's a fundamental difference between the two approaches, and I can't see much chance to simplify MAP. The only possibility is to change the provisioning approach to provision the Rule IPv6 prefix, the complete shared IPv4 address, and the PSID explicitly, then describe how to construct the MAP endpoint IPv6 address.

Getting back to draft-cui-softwire-b4-translated-ds-lite, I'd say it's ready to be adopted.
