I indeed think that convincing those PI space users to become LIRs after 
all bears quite some merits: "It regulatively makes sense to treat user 
groups the same way that are (almost) indistinguishable" is only one of 
them.

Yet, I am not entirely sure what could be the convincing arguments (or 
in the absence thereof: the mild pressure) that should be applied to 
those PI space users.

Oh, and yes: I am in favour of a v4/v6 harmonisation, too.

Best,
