SOHO = Small Office, Home Office
Whereas, *not* one-man office, home office.
Even for a very smal office (<5 people) i still fail to see this mechanism
a a good tool for transition. This "mechanism" only provides v6
connectivity to *one* IPv6 geek inside the SOHO. This is (IMHO) what i
wish to fight. IPv6 is not for geeks, IPv6 should be for everyone (without
any knowledge about it needed!)

How many hotels will do this on a permanent basis? (adding a PC for the
sole purpose of v6 routing). Hotels (and others) only worry about
providing IP. The v6 bit will be only provided properly with a minimum
requirement: 6to4!

If i were in the minnesota airport i had to discard your RAs (if i were in
the US, i wouldnt like all the packets going through Spain! --different
continent, bigger RTT), and find an appropriate RA, or instead find a tunnel
endpoint geographically nearby (which might be an impossible task if you
were already making a tunnel to spain using the proto-41 hack).
