Personally, if my v4 and v6 topologies are not different, I'd run ISIS and 
not run MT. MT for me is to make v4 and v6 have different control planes 
(even though it's using the same protocol), thus I see little difference 
in running OSPFv3+ISIS, or running ISIS-MT for v4+v6.

I argue that it's better to have different control planes for v4 and v6 
and make it obvious (OSPv3 / ISIS), than to use ISIS-MT and "obfuscate".
