Last time I checked on this 3ffe:: was not "tagged" as for "experimental services only". I have asked this to people working with IPv6 and haven't received any reply confirming it, only replies staying that it hasn't been decided.
Is it now? Please let me know.
(I will hate to do a deployment of 3ffe:: and 2001:: networks and then after some time tell the users sorry we are not routing 3ffe:: anymore since it was experimental only. I prefer telling them from the very first time.)

3ffe::/16 was designated for IPv6 evaluation and experimentation. In this case, -any- root service that is seen from 3ffe:0::/24 is for experimental services only. Other 3ffe:: entries may have other considerations. Your choice. Note carefully that the 6bone database is prone to corruption.
