I believe that at this point for operational deployments, it is
appropriate to leave out A6 & IP6.INT. If you were going to discuss them
at all, an appendix comment about their current status as experimental
and deprecated might reduce some confusion. 

Since this is more of an operational nature, it should probably be
discussed on v6ops (cc'd).
