I don't believe there is a 'rfc1918' in v6 (yet), I agree that it doesn't seem relevant, damaging perhaps though :)
Yes, there was rfc1918 in IPv6 right from the beginning:
Site local addresses "0xF80" dont leave a site. They can be routed within a site but they never get outside. Just like rfc1918 addresses do.
Yes, and site-local addresses have been removed from the spec, because of the many problems they cause. --Steven M. Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
