I'm confused - can't we make a stronger statement for opening both PDP
contexts if the mobile device is IPv6-capable? I'm concerned about
penalizing IPv6 applications if they take additional seconds (to set
up an IPv6 PDP context).

Pekka, Juha,

Yes, you are right. The PDP Context activation does take some time. It
would be of course better if the PDP Context would be open all the
time - at least according my opinion. However, there is a sentiment
among some operators that having multiple PDP Contexts open
just-in-case is not the best use of the network resources. Though, an
idle PDP Context does not use much network resources.
So, generally I agree with you, but I think in the sake of having the
best possible support for this document I think Juha's proposed text
is better fitted.
