High level comments:

1)      There are too many MAY's for a Best Current Practice.   If it's really a Best Practice, it should be a SHOULD.  If it's not a Best Practice, it shouldn't be in a BCP.

2)      I am strongly against scoping to just NAT44.  For each problem, either

a) it applies to both NAT44 and NAT64 equally, so both should be in scope, or

b) it applies to only NAT44 and the doc should explain why it's not a problem in NAT64 (e.g., because the NAT64 document already addresses the problem).

Some problems in the doc already sufficiently cover (b).  Others don't say anything and I expect (a) would apply.
