If people think this is important to change, it needs working group discussion. This is a hazard of bis drafts—it’s really hard to tell when you are done. :-) I am guessing that the original motivation was that, since ICE-lite cannot select among candidates, you want the minimum number of candidates necessary per address family. Multiple IPv6 candidates are allowed because of the nature of IPv6. But I think if you are truly multi-homed, you probably shouldn’t be using ICE-lite. Ben.
