Not wanting to answer for Mark here but:  I know of three routing
protocols that support IPv6 today:
	BGP
	RIP
	OSPF (sort of)
The predominant ones are BGP and RIP. Routing architecture and protocol
design are being done elsewhere... so I expect that discussing 
IPv6 micro-allocations is perhaps a bit premature. (See the recent
Paul Francis draft on v6 multihoming... has some interesting ramifications
for addressing policy. But I doubt it will fly. Too radical.)
