Christian et al.,

As per our earlier discussion, thank you for providing the analysis
of isatap in section 4.1.3 of this document update. Unfortunately, I
must point out that the analysis is incomplete in the case of isatap
being used to provide IPv6 connectivity to the gateway.

In this case, the isatap-enabled gateway can receive explicit prefix
delegation(s) from the provider (as described in section 3.1.2 of  the
document) and advertise the prefix(es) to an arbitrarily large number
of native IPv6 hosts on the unmanaged network. So, it is indeed not
true that: "isatap can thus only be used in the degenerate case when
the unmanaged network consists of a single host" as stated in the
current analysis.
