I remain the DNS directorate reviewer of this I-D. Since the document has no
significant DNS content my comments focus on the readability of the text. In my
view, it is still defective. Some of the points raised in my earlier review
have not been satisfactorily addressed.

The I-D is riddled wth "a/the stateful NAT64". NAT64 what? Implementation?
Specification? Protocol? System? Client? Server? A clarifying noun is needed
each time this phrase is used. The current text is the equivalent of saying
"the HTTP" or "the IPv6". Which is confusing and unhelpful.

The paragraph beginning "Special thanks to Alberto Leiva Popper..." is still
clumsily written and difficult to understand. It needs to be overhauled or
deleted. Removing it or just saying "Special thanks to Alberto Leiva Popper."
would be best.
