So why do you expect those delegations to be never visible under ip6.int?

doesn't look like a RIR to me.  Secondaries, yes.  But not the primary.

The actual handling of the individual delegations inside 3ffe::/16 could
be done the same way it's done with ip6.int now.  As I don't hold 3ffe
space, I don't know how e.f.f.3.ip6.int works right now, but it's no
*technical* problem we're talking about.

*And* the RIRs are *not* involved.
