I feel that a brief digression might help to prolong this discussion.
One way to disagree is about IP address family.
If I remember correctly, nothing (else) in 5321/2 requires a v6-only host
to understand anything about v4. Running a v6-only host is stupid at this
point, perhaps slightly less stupid in five years, but even so I don't
think the next RFCs should feature an IPv4 requirement for address
literals, and nothing for the main parts of the protocols.
