But I think what you're saying in the second paragraph is slightly
different. I.e., today's low-end router/NAT boxes have DNS servers,
but those are configured using DHCPv4.  How would DNS servers be
configured on such boxes when they support v6?  This is probably a
good question.

This is an excellent point. What's the equivalent of one of these boxes in IPv6 land? Obviously we don't need a NAT (although I'm sure someone will offer one for sale). But we might need an equivalent box, and how that box is provisioned with DNS information is a good question. The WKA approach works well here. For DNS-in-RA, I'm not sure what you'd do - just propagate the server address you get on the ISP side to the inside? Do customer-premise routers for home users and dentists' offices become obsolete with IPv6?
