I understand your comment. However, the issues you are raising (as well as others) related to 6to4 are already in the 6to4 security RFC (RFC3964), which is already referenced in the 6to4 paragraph. Therefore, I would suggest not to add any additional text in order to not repeat what is already throughly discussed in RFC3964.

I think readers would be well-served by a convenient, local reference though. If it is left to the reader to translate RFC 3330 into hex, chances are good that it won't happen.

- but again, RFC3964 goes in depth of the rationale, implications, etc... - and my understanding from previous wg discussions about this document is that we wanted to move out as much as possible of routing policy instructions.

How about adding some additional text to section 2.7, such as:

6to4 prefixes are constructed by embedding an IPv4 address into an IPv6 prefix according to [RFC3056]. Where the IPv4 address used to construct such a prefix is not globally-unique (or is otherwise reserved), the resulting 6to4 prefix is unlikely to be useful.

The following is a summary of 6to4 prefixes constructed using special-use IPv4 addresses, as documented in [RFC3330]. IPv4 prefixes which appear in [RFC3330] but which are known to have legimitate use on the public Internet at the time of writing are not included. Operators are advised to derive a policy for treatment of these 6to4 prefixes which is analogous to their policy for the corresponding IPv4 addresses.

  IPv4 Prefix     Description                       6to4 Prefix

  0.0.0.0/8       "this network" [RFC1700]          2002::/24
  10.0.0.0/8      private networks [RFC1918]        2002:a00::/24
  14.0.0.0/8      "public data networks" [RFC1700]  2002:e00::/24
  127.0.0.0/8     loopback addresses [RFC1700]      2002:7f00::/24
  169.254.0.0/16  "link local"                      2002:a9fe::/32
  172.16.0.0/12   private networks [RFC1918]        2002:ac10::/28
  192.0.2.0/24    "test net"                        2002:c000:200::/40

  (etc, etc)
