FWIW, my current IPv6 assignment is PI to a degree (where P == my 
first hop IPv4 provider), I can change this "first hop IPv4" provider 
to any other provider within my country and still retain my IPv6 
assignment.

it sounds as if you have the mythical separation of locator
and identifier :-)/2.  the problem is that there is likely
to be a shortage of those locators.

one problem with 6to4 is that having all traffic go through
gateways will not scale well.  to support v6-only folk,
either the number of 6to4 gateways will need to approach
the number of dfz routers, the dfz routers will run 6to4,
or some combination thereof.
