I agree, under the autoconfigure feature you should be able to do this
easily.

Say that both networks were using the FE8::xxxx:xxxx network, then one of
them could change this to FE9::xxxx:xxxx prior to the merge, and then just
link them.

Should be a piece of cake. An alternative would be simply to go from both
being FE8::xxxx:xxxx to one being FE8:1::xxxx:xxxx and the other being
FE8:2::xxxx:xxxx  This way there would be the ability of splitting sites and
such by the thousands, and only using NAT for the public Internet
connections.
