We have, it seems, a different understanding of the situation.

The distinction to be made, and which I make, is between
- native addresses vs well-known-prefix addresses (the former start with an ISP allocated prefix, the latter, e.g. those of 6to4 and Teredo, have a routing problem in the Internet backbone)
- native IPv6 routing (IPv6-only or dual stack) vs IPv4-only routing 

6rd is designed to offer native IPv6 prefixes across IPv4-only routing domains.
