Kind of like NAT, then. Is there an IPv6 address registry? Can I acquire
a publiv IPv6 address space (even if it isn't routeable right now)? I'm
assuming that IPv6 isn't being routed right now and most people just
tunnel. (I'll have to ask my ISP).

I seriously didn't know that IPv6 is actively being routed now (without
tunneling).
