The aim of Gunter's draft is to give guidance for one of the most common
questions that seems to come up at the moment, i.e. 'OK, I'm deploying IPv6,
but what addressing plan should I use and what addressing gotchas are there 
that I need to avoid?'

What we've done in the first draft of that is to create a strawman text
for discussion in Dallas.   Point to point discussion is one facet of the
draft, but there are many others.   I've not yet formed an opinion on the
idea in your draft, but it seems it could be captured as one part of this
bigger 'considerations' draft.
