Please read the draft.  Only, the facts do not change: ISATAP does provide
these features (and more besides!) which are completely unnecessary and
even counter-productive in this scenario.

ISATAP simply is *not* a simple host-to-router mechanism. (Of course, 
"simple" is subjective, but at least it's much more complicated than you 
thought.)

(I reviewed isatap-15 in detail, and I don't think -16 changed much in 
this regard.)
