I am favorable to allocating a 6bone /32 for Teredo testing.

I also agree with Thomas. As a matter of fact, I think that "special
purpose" (read, not pTLAs in the conventional use) 6bone assignments
should be renewed regularly.

I will be requesting a 6bone testing block soon myself, my idea was a
block renewed every year or every other year. The sunset of an
experiment should be either when there has been enough experience
acquired through the 6bone to request a block from IANA, or when the
experiment has stopped.
