Honestly (and I'm sure some IPv6 folks will want me injured as a result) there should be some '1918-like' space allocated for the corporate guys who "don't get it", so they can nat everyone through a single /128. It would make life easier for them and quite possibly be a large item in pushing ipv6 deployment in the enterprise. I don't see our corporate IT guys that number stuff in 1918 space wanting to put hosts on 'real' ips. The chances for unintended routing are enough to make them say that v6 is actually a security risk vs security enabler is my suspicion. - Jared
