Most routers do not need to support any transition mechanism: they will continue to run IPv4, IPv6, or both. Only those that actually terminate the tunnel or do the translation will need to support the transition mechanism. 

In fact, there are no nodes that MUST implement a transition mechanism in order to support IPv6, which is the scope of the document. "IPv6 nodes MAY support IPv4." is good enough for me.

We will refine the “comments" into real changes to the body of the text in a future version, assuming we can see that the changes have consensus, or at least no objections.
