Hello all.
In addition to what has been said already about the present revision of the document, let me make a suggestion for its next revision if the working group decides to work on it.
What such a document could propose is that all new I-Ds have to include an "IPv4 Considerations" section, which either states that the document has absolutely nothing to do with IPv4 (and in that case the section is removed before the publication) or actually makes relevant considerations along a set of guidelines (like RFC 5226 explains how to make IANA considerations). This will help both authors and readers spend sufficient time thinking about how the document will work in IPv4-only, IPv6-only or double-stack environments, so that they can identify more real issues before the publication or the implementation.
To keep those guidelines right-sized, the document could make IPv4 considerations for recent 10-15 protocols/documents to show how it works and what problems it would help to avoid.
