I think the consensus we had in the past BoFs and discussion in and around 
this topic can be summed up as stating that homenet deliverables will:

- coexist with (existing) IPv4 protocols, devices, applications, etc.
- operate in a (future) IPv6-only home network in the absence of IPv4
- be IP-agnostic whenever possible

I'd like for this group to relax the "wherever possible" bit, so as to not 
preclude solutions where IPv6 can do a better job than IPv4.

Yes, and I think that IPv6 should naturally do a better job than IPv4 in the 
cases where it can. 

My original mail had this restatement of the above, which I think gets closer 
to what you want:

However, when we can define something that is needed for IPv6 in a way that 
is also useful for IPv4 without making significant concessions, we should go 
ahead and do so.
