Moreover, the general point stands that Mark's problem is one of bad ISP decisions, not anything different between IPv4/RFC1918 and IPv6.
My example, although a bit convoluted to demonstrate a point, is about robustness against Internet link failure. I don't think people's internal connectivity should be dependent on their Internet link being available and being assigned global address space. That's what the global only people are saying.
(how is the customer going to access the CPE webserver to enter ISP login details when they get the CPE out of the box, if hasn't got address space because it hasn't connected to the ISP ...)
I've been using IPv6 for about 18 seconds, and even *I* know the answer to that one -- the link-local address. - Matt -- "You are capable, creative, competent, careful. Prove it." -- Seen in a fortune cookie
