i don't consider their modifications are synced but i do consider that each
device, either BR or CE, should has a specification on its supported
functionalities.

the CE/BR specified RFC6145-compliant might be a problem but MAP-T is still
in development. if we state to enforce DCCP mandatorily rather than
optional in MAP-T, a MAP-T-compliant CE/BR won't has the backward
compatible problem. to this extend, MAP-T is at the same kick-off line of
the 4rd-U.

i actually think the original text is fine. "For .... shared IPv4
addresses" is not needed for 4rd-U, to my understanding, nor needed to
MAP-T.
