The plan of record is that these publicly reachable hosts will have both
a local address and a global address. The global address will be derived
from a prefix announced by the ISP.

Stuff happens. However, one ISP making a mistake does not have to
endanger the whole Internet. Any good ISP is suppose to filter routes in
the FC00::/7 prefix from its own BGP announcements, and to ignore prefix
in the FC00::/7 range that peer ISP might mistakenly advertise.
