My apologies for posting to the wrong list -- I didn't realize there was a
second v6ops listserv for IETF-related discussion (I also subscribe to
ipv6-...@lists.cluenet.de at ). 

Looks like ietf-v6ops-cpe-simple-security more than covers my little
paragraph, except the phrase "stateful firewall" is nowhere to be found.

If the editors of I-D.ietf-v6ops-ipv6-cpe-router would like to host the
debate over whether or not to make such a recommendation, then that would
make me very, very happy.  We could declare all such flames out of scope for
the discussion to review I-D.ietf-v6ops-cpe-simple-security.  I might even
consider bribing you with chocolates and fruit baskets if that would help.
