How do you get people to do even epsilon paperwork to request such
space? How do you deter them from just picking something in the
block? (Or not in the block!)
As long as you have an IPv4 address to call your own, you can do the
6to4 thing. But since you are likely not to "own" any IPv4 space,
you can to the "pick and pray" thing with a random RFC 1918 address.
Until your mergers and backdoor connections lump you in together with
sqrt(2^24 + 2^20 + 2^16) ~= 4230 like-mindless organizations, you can
expect to probably get away with it.
Ugh.
