I suspect what Mr. Townsley and Mr. Arkko are aiming at here is that if FUN can come up with a scheme to make routed home subnetworks work with delegated IPv6 prefixes, then it is probably not too far-fetched that the same scheme could be trivially extended for assigning IPv4 subnets from the RFC 1918 private realm to support dual-stack routed home subnetworks.

I'm not expecting home networks to be able to run IPv6-only with the IPv4 Internet mapped to 64:ff9b::/96 through NAT64 for several more years yet.  There's a whole crapload of legacy IPv4-only devices in the average home theater system today that nobody wants to cut off from the Internet just yet.
