Hi Simon,

(cced softwire ML as this topic is of the interest of the wg too. This draft 
cannot be discussed without having the problem space to solve in mind)

With all due respect, complexifying the design because of a speculated need of 
IPv4-centric options in the future is not a valid argument IMHO.

RFC6333 is a typical example of a solution which shows we don't need at all 
DHCPv4 to offer IPv4 service continuity.

As discussed in 
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-softwire-unified-cpe/, very few 
parameters in addition to DS-Lite ones are needed to be configured to support 
MAP and LW4over6. Those few parameters can be packaged in one single DHCPv6 
option and we are done.

Cheers,
Med
