"In addition, the sockets API should be extended to support IPxl with a new socket domain PF_IPXL which is identical to PF_INET in every respect save that the IP addresses are 8 bytes long instead of 4."
Do you realise that this means you're requiring changing *every* socket-speaking application in the world?
It's taken us decades to get applications to use the new struct to support IPv6+IPv4, resetting the timer back to 0 and starting over does not help deployment. It just kicks it another 20 years down the line.
You're just inventing yet another incompatible standard and you have to touch everything, DHCP, DNS all applications etc.
