2002::/16 (6to4) is part of that.

See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6343
and of course also:
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic-05
 (though that technically expired).

Except for quick tests, doing anything with 6to4 is futile.

Clearly though in this case the address never worked. Can't fix problems
between chair and keyboard with documents.

One can stuff whatever one wants in DNS, if it breaks though that is the
problem of the operator.
