Additionally—

Editorial: the section for Security Considerations currently says this:

Security-related considerations that apply when the cellular
> device provides LAN features are specified in [RFC6092
> <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6092>].


This sentence is a bit awkward— but more importantly, RFC 6092 is not a
specification, and the chain of citation that lead to its reference here is
far from clear.  I suggest the following wordier but more helpful
replacement:

In the case of cellular devices that provide LAN features, compliance with
> L_REC#2 entails compliance with RFC 6204, which in turn recommends
> compliance with Recommended Simple Security Capabilities in Customer
> Premises Equipment (CPE) for Providing Residential IPv6 Internet Service [
> RFC6092 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6092>]. Therefore, the security
> considerations in section 6 of that document are relevant. In particular,
> it bears repeating here that the true impact of stateful filtering may be a
> reduction in security, and that IETF make no statement, expressed or
> implied, as to whether using the capabilities described in any of these
> documents ultimately improves security for any individual users or for the
> Internet community as a whole.


p.s. I also share all of Lorenzo's other specific concerns about this
draft, as well as his broad general objections.
