I'm drinking coffee here in Auckland at 08:21, but there is no
"send coffee" feature in Web RTC yet.

Yes, everybody go and read RFC 6343 again please.

Just to be clear though, a return relay for 6to4 will advertise
a route to 2002::/16, since it must accept traffic for any 6to4
host. But any packets sent to that AZDES address will black hole
because the return relay will encapsulate them in IPv4 and deliver
them to 0.0.0.0.
