I think there's a misunderstanding here. The only requirement is to translate the IP headers. The document in question deals with the address translation part of that task.

Sorry all, coming into this late. I have read the RFC and really do not get
why you would want to do IPv4 to IPv6 multicast translation.  Is there
really multicast information that is only IPv4 capable? From everything I
have used multicast for in the past, the data does not care about the IP
protocol used. What is the reliance of this RFC?
