No, we also need this:

Being realistic after the Kobe flame wars, it is my view that
we need a transition-and-coexistence plan. I mean that there will,
presumably, be some form of IPv7 in the world which is _not_ TUBA
as well as communities which prefer TUBA because they are running
CLNP for other reasons. Therefore, TUBA has to say how to get there
from here _and_ how to interwork with an unknown IPv7.

I simply do not have time to work on a draft transition and coexistence
plan. It's possible that somebody at CERN can work on this starting
December but this is not a commitment. However it is my gut feeling
about such a plan that led to my suggested additions to the Appendix
of CLNPforTUBA I-D  - they are directed towards coexistence rather
than transition, and tend to put the onus for coxistence on the
routers rather than the hosts.

I am heavily backlogged, so maybe this issue has been discussed
on the list in the last few days, but I haven't seen any arguments
that come near to changing my view on this point.
