I've reached the same conclusion, but I'm worried about the fact
that I have no recollection for the arguments that led to the
IPv6 specific document to begin with.

The reason I think a unified document is a good idea at this
time is that the IPv6 document already has subsecond timers
well hashed out. So it should be a matter of explaining how
IPv4 addresses should be carried and, I would say, a section
on how to handle a world with both VRRPv2 vs. VRRPv3 on IPv4
networks.

I know little about the procedural issues here, but
"theoretically" the IPv4 changes shouldn't change the IPv6
VRRPv3 protocol, so it might be OK to allow the existing document
to continue on track, if anyone wants to push for that.
