I can live with 2001::/16 + 2002::/16, but I think that's a bad choice 
for multiple reasons.  What if we invent 6to4v2 which uses 2005::/16 
and we'd like to automatically apply these semantics to it?  What if 
we run out of 2001::/16 for native allocations?  -- actually we've 
already 1/3 used it up.

Thus being generic and excluding just those that we _know_ aren't
really, really global might seem as a better approach -- one that we
might not need to tweak e.g., 2-3 years down the road..
