I think there is one difference from the 6to4 case - well, two actually.

1. A lot of operators learnt the hard way that failing to coordinate
6to4 prefix routing between operators caused very substantial problems.
(And, btw, the 6to4 RFC said that such coordination was needed.)

2. LISP has grown out of the routing community, so the need for
operational coordination is presumably understood in that community.

Nevertheless, the risk of a failure of coordination seems high.
But then, it seemed high for BGP4 itself in 1994.
