I think this is a bad and pointless idea. Pointless because it is 100% OK
to use any RFC4193 prefix as an example, since by definition it will never
be used on the Internet, and the chance of collision on a given ULA site
is 1 in 2**40 (and who cares anyway?). Bad because it means that millions
of existing boxes that can generate ULA prefixes would be non-conformant
and, seriously, is any vendor going to update date their firmware for this?
