AKAIKT, ll changes that were agreed in Anaheim are now in the document, so that 
it can proceed.

Right.
And this is in fact implied by the current text:
 
  "the 6rd Tunnel MTU should be set to the known IPv4
   MTU minus the size of the encapsulating IPv4 header (20 bytes)"

Since ISPs know in general that they support IPv4 MTUs well beyond 1300, they 
should tunnel MTUs to well beyond 1280.

It is only "Absent of more specific information" that "the 6rd Tunnel MTU 
SHOULD default to 1280 bytes."

Regards,
RD
