If I'm not mistaken, that's a proprietary protocol that isn't even described in an
RFC (although there seems to be a stalled draft under consideration as an
Independent Submission RFC). While I don't object to describing reality, I think
you need to explain *why* it's appropriate to do this in an IETF stream draft.

If you go ahead, I would suggest putting this topic in an appendix.

/ Regardless of whether or not EIGRP makes it into the draft, it could be worth mentioning that the deployment of IPv6 is also an good opportunity to deploy a non-proprietary IGP, and perhaps at a later date migrate IPv4 to using the new IGP too if it supports multiple protocol families.
