As far as I can tell when I tested this, even in bridge mode you can let 
the downstream router do the 6rd.

So it's possible, but requires support in the "downstream" CPE. Somehow 
we keep circling back to "Start"...

I worked on a user's pfSense install on a Swisscom connection while 
debugging 6rd support.
