By the way, we do discuss in the draft why it's a useful alternative to
both tunnel brokers (such as Hexago and SixXs) or Teredo. We don't
explicitly discuss why we think it's also a useful alternative to an L2TP
solution, but the arguments are, I think, similar to those for the tunnel
brokers (apart from our "hobbyist" comment).
