|   "Entities using the Midcom Protocol need to know the

The text gives the freedom to read it different ways. As a MIDCOM guy I do 
read it as "the configuration protocol's endpoint address might be IPv6 
capable, but not the middlebox engine (=firewall and/or NAT)".
But indeed I see the point of given a more elaborated text.
