Since only my home is on the 6bone right now (as opposed to my work), I'm
not reall one to comment here but...

I don't agree, what about peering? Even end-sites can peer with other end

v6-in-v4 tunnels causing very unoptimim paths between end-sites. This is
also useful when they are IPv4 peers in 'real life'/
