Greenfield IPv4 + IPv6 broadband deployment

I'm not sure if what you're describing is the same what we did already in
some deployments and we described in an IETF ID:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-palet-v6ops-point2point-01

The ID didn't progressed because there was not agreement in v6ops to go
that way.

I still believe it is an interesting option.

Comments welcome, and actually if someone else is deploying this way, I
will be interested to continue the work in the draft and incorporating
other authors.

Regards,
Jordi
