[6bone] RE: [ipv6-wg@ripe.net] Update on IPv6 filter recommendation

[Kimmo Suominen]

I've used IPv4 space in the past to connect to extranet providers using
unique addresses, without connecting to the Internet.  Is such use not
allowed in the IPv6 world?  One must promise to advertise the addresses
to the Internet to get an allocation?  End to extranet providers?
