>   (2) SHOULD RFC 6126, IPv4 subset;

Why not MUST? Given the massive embedded base (and continued deployment of new) IPv4-only devices, I think the homenet architecture will be less than successful if IPv4 isn't mandatory to implement. It's ok for vendors to ship with IPv4 disabled by default, if that's what the vendor wants to do; but it has to be there.

Much as I would like to see the CE industry prodded to ship all products with IPv6 implemented and enabled, I don't think the prodding should be done by causing unnecessary pain for average consumers.
