I see it slightly differently - I think that bringing the IPv4 and
IPv6 requirements and policy text in line with each other as a
facilitator of IPv6 deployment. To quote myself: "These structural
changes are meant to make it easier to compare the two sections. I
believe that having the IPv6 and IPv4 policies written in completely
different formats and structures (as they are in many cases now)
confuses the issues and makes it very hard to understand what is
different and what is the same across the two sections. Bringing them
into a similar format should help ease the migration to IPv6 as folks
can quickly and easily understand the differences and the
similarities."

I am glad to hear that my employer is doing it right! And I fully
agree that most are not (and that something should be done about
that).

Thanks for the feedback Bill. I am still very hopeful that this
petition succeeds and we are allowed to have this conversation at
length in Atlanta. =)
