One more thing I find puzzling - RFCs 2473 and 6333 state that you have to 
encapsulate the packet first into IPv6 and if it exceeds the IPv4-in-IPv6 
tunnel MTU, fragment the IPv6 packet. This draft states the opposite thing, if 
the encapsulated packet is larger than the tunnel MTU, you have to fragment 
IPv4 and then encapsulate it into IPv6. In my opinion, the simpler thing to do 
would be to encapsulate first and fragment afterwards.

I think this is also a problem because RFC 6333 describes fragmentation only 
from the AFTR's viewpoint and this draft describes it from the B4's viewpoint. 
Since this draft refers to RFC6333 for fragmentation, it would mean that the 
lwAFTR and lwB4 would have different fragmentation logic.
