Hi Brian,

IPv6 node requirements are defined in RFC 4294. It's merely an
informative reference in draft-ietf-intarea-ipv6-required-01. The
discussion about IPV4 address pool exhaustion (Section 1) is a
distraction from a definition of an IP-capable node. If the intention
is to push for IPv6 support in all nodes so that an IP node is
ubiquitous with IPv4 and IPv6, it would be helpful to have a clear and
concise document about that. I do not view concise as saying "MUST
support IPv6" and be done with it. The document would state which
technical specifications an IP-capable mode must support.
That is the role of draft-ietf-6man-node-req-bis (which, if
approved, will obsolete RFC 4294). There are practical reasons
why both of these documents are Informational, and thefore would
require special arguments to be cited normatively.
