I agree.

Fair enough. It seems to me that "host requirements" is the logical place
to specify a preference for IPv6 over IPv4, so personally I now prefer
the 8504bis option, but I wouldn't object to putting it in 3901bis either.

The general principle in 8504 is to be a summary of requirements and to point 
to other RFCs that define them, so doing both is perfectly viable.
