Coming late in the discussion, another data point from an ISP running 6RD 
multi-domain for a year and a half now. 

The CPEs we provide with 6RD capability all have an IPv6 firewall on by 
default. 

User expectations and corporate responsibility won over the open-ended 
model (it wasn't much of a fight actually).
