	I have friends that are using multiple subnets in IPv4
	without being aware they are.  One net is a doubly
	NAT'd wireless network. 

	It really should be no harder in IPv6.  Plug the router
	in.  It get a "upstream" address vi autoconf/dhcp.  It
	requests a prefix allocation of its down stream via
	DHCP which the edge router supplies by using a unallocated
	prefix it has or by relaying / combining the request.
