I'm very curious why this draft doesn't refer to
draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-cpe-router. We certainly don't
want two competing documents, so can the authors say how
they plan to approach this?

I'm also curious why RFC4864 isn't mentioned. That's not
normative, but I would expect any draft in this area to
at least mention the scenarios mentioned there.

This seems like far too short a discussion and far too short a list.
The range of coexistence (not transition) solutions is much larger
and it's far from clear which ones will be widespread.
