Question of AS

 From my view of the 6bone, most participants seem to be using the ASN they 
use for their IPv4 backbones.

I'd also suspect that in the longer run it would ease migration from IPv4 
only backbone to an IPv6 capable backbone if you used the same ASN. Those 
organisations I have been involved with certainly are adopting that 
strategy. (Their argument is that they want the IPv6 capable part of their 
infrastructure to be an integral part of the existing infrastructure, not a 
separate network they have to somehow peer with.)
