There seems to be some confusion (see my comments on Enterprise Scenarios 
and Jim's reply) about what exactly the contents of "Enterprise scenarios" 
should be.  At least on my part..

I was thinking that an "ideal" scenarios document would describe the
scenarios with _IPv4_ (or with a protocol-agnostic way) with as much
detail as possible, which would enable the _Solutions_ document to expand
from there painlessly, to IPv6 situations, mechanisms and solutions.

Of course, some text on IPv6 to scope the work better (non-solutions
centric) might also be OK, but not too much. (3gpp-cases is a good example
here, but may be difficult to compare against as it's quite restricted.)

Perhaps this is something that is is needed to reach common understanding
on?  It should make writing the drafts easier too :-)
