I would also add that future IPv6 capable devices should allow end users to reach the IPv6 Internet
from an IPv4-only provider through some means, perhaps tunneling, with no or minimal administrator
intervention. I can see many providers remaining IPv4-only long into the future.

Also, trying to define what the IPv4 home network should be has long reached a point of diminishing returns given the effort in doing so coupled with our ability to significantly affect what's already deployed. There's still hope we can help direct IPv6, as such that is homenet's primary focus.  However, when we can define something that is needed for IPv6 in a way that is also useful for IPv4 without making significant concessions, we should go ahead and do so.
