I think the correct thing to say here is that lw4over6 is much simpler than 
MAP-E—the client doesn't need to do any math, and just takes the configuration 
from the server.

How does the lw4over6 client know it's stateless without a DHCPv6 option that 
tells it?   If you mean that the absence of a DHCPv6 option configuring a 
static IP address/port set is what does it, then that solution still requires 
DHCPv6—it just doesn't require that specific option to be sent.

The difference here is not that lw4over6 doesn't require DHCPv6, but that it 
additionally requires DHCPv4 for dynamic allocation, if dynamic allocation is 
used.

I am sure that I am just restating what you already know, but I want to be sure 
that we don't start arguing about a point on which we don't actually disagree.
