  This is a red-herring. 
  
  a) my service provider isn't IPv6 ready. I am doubtful that any of them
        will be for a long time as far as I can tell. I will be building a
        tunnels for a long time. 
        (traceroute to wirespeed.solidum.com if you want to know who my ISP is)

  b) in the situation where I am using IPv6 instead of RFC1597, then
        my address can't be topologically significant.

  c) multihoming.
