	oh that this were universally true:

	"Poor planning on YOUR part does NOT make it
	 an emergency on MY part."

	although the v6 zelots will have heartburn, and the routing
	purests will twist in the wind, the IETF, back when the E
	mattered, championed a transition strategy to deal w/
	isolated communities who adopted new stuff.

	May I suggest a review of GRE and a listing of IPv6 friendly
	peers who will build/terminate your tunnels ... routing around the"Tier(x)
	ISP who can't or won't accomodate your valid request.
