Actually, no it isn't. The IPv6-enabled Internet gateway my employer
sells today does this. Every time the public IPv4 address changes, the
IPv6 6to4 interior prefix moves.
That's not quite the same as running with several simultaneous
prefixes, though. I agree that this ought to work painlessly too,
since it's a design feature of IPv6, but the CPE will have to
actually support it, and so will all the consumer devices.
