It's for making 2002::/16 reachable, not for making the IPv4 version
reachable over IPv6 ;)

If you where announcing 192.88.99.1/32 you would be right, though
announcing a /32 is really dubieus :)
They _where_ (it got fixed directly) announcing 2002:c058:6301::/48
which really doesn't make any sense. Or are you implying that anyone
can just announce a block out of 192.88.99.0/24 and use it for 6to4?

Announcements of 192.88.99.0/24 should also be backed up
by the relevant entry in the RIPE (or ARIN/LACNIC/APNIC) databases.

Greets,
 Jeroen
