DNS - people have to discuss DNS Proxy vs. recursive DNS server to be supported in the CE Router device.  Frankly we recommend a recursive DNS server, but the discussion has to happen within the design team and then a decision discussed in v6ops. 

Have you considered the mischief that can result on vulnerable home gateways, i.e. practically all CE routers on the market?

Easy there.  It is not the case that *practically all* CPE routers on the market with integrated recursive DNS servers are running open forwarders.  Just the poorly implemented ones.  I can point at a well-known counter-example if I must.
