how is that working out for dual-stack and dhcp android users?
What do you mean? Are you saying that host developers don't always and automatically do what network operators want them to do? If that's motivated by the fact that they are acting in their users' interests, it seems to me that they are justified in doing so, and in fact, would be remiss not to.

and now we need to make the wannabe document match what the state of
affairs is in networking.
That doesn't mean "we've been violating the standards, so now the standards have to change to match what we've been doing, even if other parties are depending on the standards", does it? :-)
