The first paragraph contains a reference to 24 free /8:s. This is now 16, 
so perhaps a date should be used instead of "as of writing", and a 
quarter/year mentioned when the last /8s will be handed out according to 
current forcasts?

In 3.1, is it really the goal of growing the industry, perhaps a more 
altrusitic goal could be mentioned, like growing and evolving the Internet 
for the good of mankind (or something less high-flying :P)

"insatiable requirements", now we're talking :)

4.1

"allows applications using the two protocols to operate as ships in the 
night": As a non-english native speaker, I don't really know what that 
means. I can guess, I can look it up in websters.com, I can google, but... 
it would be nice if a more easy to understand term was used.


Apart from that I find it a valuable document to sum up what's available.

I'd like to see a mention of SAVI in there, so the document touches on 
some deployment security mechanisms as well. We don't want BCP38 to go out 
the door just because people are moving to IPv6 and for people who don't 
do BCP38 already, from reading the document they should get a notion that 
they need to start doing it when they deploy IPv6.
