I think it's more reasonable to describe solutions for them than to rule their problem out of order.In that, you are surely correct. But frankly, having read 4.3 I have a hard time taking it seriously as an early-stage IPv6 transition mechanism. It reads to me like pie in the sky.
Section 4.3 (IPv6-only core) makes sense, if you define "core" as "customer edge to peering edge." ISPs won't save much IPv4 address space by numbering their core routers into IPv6, but if they assign IPv6 addresses to Dual-stack Lite routers and LSNs, they have a transition plan. I can't say whether it's a viable plan, but it's a plan.
I can see 4.4 as a late stage mechanism when we're slowly dismantling our IPv4 networks... I can also see it as an under-the-hood mechanism for deploying new integrated technologies (utility meters, IPTV, etc).
I think that's exactly the scenario it describes. IPv6 plus an IPv4-stretcher (NAT444, DS-Lite) is the crustimony proseedcake. Lee
