Again, this doc is about updating the IPv4 ID specification in RFC791 -
which has not yet been updated.

But, the way you update rfc791 requires updating rfc2460,
rfc2765 and their implementations, for which there is no
consensus.

It certainly does not.

That is, though your draft claims to "more closely reflect
current practice" and "more closely match IPv6", the way you
update rfc791 does not "reflect current practice" nor "match
IPv6".

It does - it doesn't reflect the errors in IPv6-IPv4 translation, which
is not "IPv6".
