  This is a red-herring. 
  
  a) my service provider isn't IPv6 ready. I am doubtful that any of them
	will be for a long time as far as I can tell. I will be building a
	tunnels for a long time.

  b) in the situation where I am using IPv6 instead of RFC1597, then
	my address can't be topologically significant.

  c) multihoming.
