If that is the case, then why do you need this *now* ?
We need to have reverse delegation for the 3FFE space, under ip6.arpa, and this has to happen *now*, not "at some point far away to the future when 6bone has ceased to exist and everybody is living peacefully under the RIR's hoods".
This is necessary to make reverse resolving with standard-compliant programs work.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2471.txt This document describes an allocation plan for IPv6 addresses to be used in testing IPv6 prototype software. These addresses are temporary and will be reclaimed in the future. Any IPv6 system using these addresses will have to renumber at some time in the future. These addresses will not to be routable in the Internet other than for IPv6 testing. FP = 001 = Format Prefix This is the Format Prefix used to identify aggregatable global unicast addresses. TLA = 0x1FFE = Top-Level Aggregation Identifier ======= 1+1 = 3 ?...as in 0x3FFE ?
