Why do you want a single protocol? Should the transport for this be either 
IPv4 or IPv6? I kind of see the logic that DHCP for v4 is carried over 
IPv4, and DHCPv6 is carried over IPv6, and keep them separate. I'm not 
really a fan of mixing things too much, sounds like a complication?

Should IPv4 information be obtained using an IPv6 transport also?
