I am concerned that this would be an obstacle to deploying MIPv6: I couldn't put my node to network X because X will not get AAA within five years. > Secondly, such a the proposed practice would basically foil all of the > designed zero-configuration nature of IPv6.

Uh... there are legitimate uses for accounting and AAA but I really don't think we should impose configuration and AAA in all situations. There's plenty of examples where there is no business or security need for complicated configuration or even accounting. Such as closed company or free university networks, or my access-paid-by-visa WLAN.
