no - its all described if you care to look in the IANA registries.

2001:0000::/23        IANA           01 Jul 99   [1]

Notes:

[1]  IANA Special Purpose Address Block [RFC4773].
      See: http://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv6-special-registry



and at the special purpose registry referenced here you will see the 
TEREDO and ORCHID allocations, and a reference to RFC 4773 which 
describes the procedure used for these allocations.
