I assume this is the list where we can talk about this draft.

I don't think it's a good idea to document the detailed recipe for this.
Even as an experimental RFC, we know that it would be misused by vendors
to misrepresent what the the IETF thinks.

I think it is much higher priority to do a good job on
draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-multihoming-without-ipv6nat.

Why only those two? For a slightly broader discussion please see

(where NPTv6 is unfortunately called by its previous name, sorry).
