Dear Ole,

Please see inline.

[Qi] IMO, map-dhcp has an assumption that the mapping between IPv4 address and 
IPv6 prefix is pre-determined, which is a static mapping. But that assumption 
is not always true. We should allow flexibility for the users to use a dynamic 
mapping.

[Qi] If one draft can make it clear, I don't think we need a combination.

[Qi] There are requirements for it. And it follows DHC's consensus. 

Thanks,
Qi
