   Fully agree. However, since still the clients connects to the host, the debate   
   becomes pointless for DS-Lite as in that case the host should only present an   
   IPv6 address. So there is nothing to choose here anyway.    
      
   On the other hand, I still cannot see any drawbacks of using IPv4 to connect a   
   host that supports both IPv4 and IPv6. To put it differently: there is no   
   actual advantage in using IPv6 (other than feeling cool), so whats wrong with   
   using IPv4 that may actually still have compatibility. Once the connection is   
   established its all the same anyway.
