Actually they are votes against *broken* DS at the subscriber end of
the wire - typically, that means a subscriber whose host is under
the illusion that it has IPv6 connectivity when it doesn't.

They are definitely not votes against ISPs that have done a proper
dual stack deployment, since their subscribers don't have illusory
connectivity.

Which means they are actually votes against ISPs that have *not*
deployed DS. We would definitely not be having this conversation
if all ISPs had deployed a dual stack backbone already.

You're completely correct that the draft should clearly define
where it's talking about an ISP core and where it's talking about
the access network.
