I talked about that to some people at last IETF. A common answer is that
we do not want to recreate the .arpa domain.

www.6bone.net, ftp.6bone.net registry.6bone.net, majordomo@6bone.net
& all sorts of things like that make a lot of sense to me.
For site entry point, we might have 6bone-gw.ipv6.your.site or anything
similar.
That's nice enough for traceroutes.
