And b.

And probably it is too much effort for something that will go away (probably sooner that we expect) with the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses for each ISP's customer (6to4 does not work with NATs, and they are here).

You will not get "consensus" on these statements in the IETF or by the various companies that implement gear and networks in the REAL world.

why not?  all of those recommendations are clearly appropriate and desirable, with the possible exception of (c) because ISP use of RFC 1918 addresses is likely to conflict with customer user of the same address ranges.
