Hi Marc, your issue is true about IPv4 only backbone....but today for ISP with MPLS backbone the 6PE and 6VPE are used to deploy ipv6 on MPLS backbone. Isacco Marc Blanchet ha scritto:

6VPE (RFC 4659) 6PE (RFC 4798)
These RFC are related to MPLS environment so I think 6PE and 6VPE should be mandatory for ISP that are using MPLS and offer ipv6 for direct internet connections and 6VPE for ipv6 over vpn mpls services.
So, the correct wording inside mandatory section would be:
- if IPv6 over MPLS and IPv6 over VPN MPLS features are requested, 6PE or 6VPE must be supported [RFC4798, RFC4659] The contracting authority shall specify the required protocol.
does not make sense to me.
6PE and 6VPE are two ways to run IPv6 over MPLS network, but are not the only ones. Therefore, it can not be mandatory.
Marc.
Is this acceptable?
Thnx, Jan Zorz
