I think that it becomes irrelevant which 6to4 router you use, so
potentially, multiple people could announce the same prefix. If we adopt
some kind of rule whereby all pTLA's have a 6to4 router, we won't even have
to announce it at all. 
Brian, could you comment? I don't want to misinterpret the draft.

Thanks
