Hi,

Well, access to hosts behind a router with one global IPv4 address and
a 6to4 gateway in it comes to mind - without having to configure explicit
NAT mappings on the router.  I think this is Keith's scenario.

(Client has working global IPv4, Router has working global IPv4, neither
has v6, but peer-to-peer 6to4 enables access to inside LAN with 2002: 
addresses derived from Router's v4 address)
