Did I really wrote this - oops, where?

We should extend the question, because *.ip6.int should be moved (or
better copied) to *.ip6.arpa :

why is complete 6bone still only available on *.ip6.int, while
Registries already listed on *.ip6.arpa?

See here for more and compare:

dig AXFR ip6.arpa. @NS.RIPE.NET. >ip6.arpa.db
dig AXFR ip6.int. @imag.imag.fr. >ip6.int.db

Problem will be that the nibble format don't always match the ISP's
IPv4 address space. A lot of CNAME records have to be generated, like
in IPv4 today - therefore no real reason why not...

...if the IPv4 address you're using is a static one assigned by a
local ISP to you and it's registered to you.
