> First, embed the "legacy" address space.
What do you mean by that?
> Second, have legacy-to-legacy connections use v4 on the wire.
Just as IPv6 does?
> Third, strongly encourage existing user-maintained configuration (config file formats etc.) to remain perfectly valid as long as they don't use v6 addresses (or other v6 features.)
Just as is the case with IPv6?

Just as it is now?

If they implemented the extensions ... just as if they implemented IPv6 by now?
