In your previous mail you wrote:

   I'd like to ask for some general consensus on the following questions:
   
   1) Are "::10.1.1.1" and "::169.254.1.1" legal IPv6 addresses?
      (They look like global IPv6 addresses, but aren't globally unique.)
      RFC 2373 does not mention any such restriction, and so
      implies "yes".
   
=> no

   2) Similarly, is "2002:0A01:0101:..." a legal IPv6 address?
      The current 6to4 draft implies "no".
      
=> no

   3) Is it reasonable that the answers to the above two questions
      could be different?
   
=> no

The argument is: even if these addresses seem legal in an internet
*NOT* connected to the Internet, IPv6 provides local scoped and
not ambiguous addresses which have none of RFC 1918 problems.
