I think this is vitally necessary and ready to go to the IESG. If proof be needed, I heard yesterday something that I found extraordinary until I thought about it. It seems that major companies considering selling a division are now routinely renumbering the entire division into Net 10 prior to the sale, so that it can be snipped off from the corporate network in a few seconds, and NATted onto the purchaser's network just as quickly.
(Please don't shoot the messenger - this is reality, to be dealt with.) We need to offer a similar ability in IPv6 without creating ambiguous addresses and requiring NATs as a result.
