I support the draft, thanks, below are my comments,

Overall> The draft is about 3GPP Mobile Devices but the draft has no
normative reference to such device. The title of the draft SHOULD mention
that it is general profile or a proposal, where the abstract says
*specifies an IPv6 profile* which means not general, so the title SHOULD
say *An IPv6 profile*. Also the draft does not consider Mobile IP issues
nor RFC5213 into requirements. From the doc the reviewer is not sure does
the draft consider MANET issues or not needed for such devices or such
connections?



Abstract> This document specifies an IPv6 profile for 3GPP mobile devices.



AB> suggest> this document defines an IPv6 profile....

The document is missing an applicability statement section, which may be
found in one paragraph in section 1.1, but the reviewer would like more
details because the document is some how saying it is general requirements.
