I don't see much reason to duplicate data in the 6bone registry. This
will only cause inconsistent data and that is not very desirable.
However, I have a fairly large disk so I don't mind if people would
like to this anyway.

'ipv6-site' objects are a completely different matter though. They
describe actual routing information and there is at this point no
alternative. In addition, we currently have a single unified registry
in contrast to the situation with the ipv4 routing registries and we
might want to keep it that way.

PS Followup mails should probably only go to the 6bone list
   since this is about the 6bone registry.
