Why ? Do you have any reason at all to tight the two things together ?
They are two completely separate mechanisms for completly distinct problems.
Further, operationally it makes no sense to me to try to connect the two
issues... the 6bone is an interconection of ipv6 sites, it should not concern
itself at all with autoconfiguration of hosts in a LAN.
