Hi Jeroen,
If I understand correctly the iana-ipv6 special registry is for recording the use of 2001:000::/23 (RFC4773). The documentation prefix falls outside this range. But it is covered by the statement ' Other special IPv6 addresses requiring specific considerations for global routing are listed in [RFC5156].' RFC5156 covers the documentation prefix. It is mentioned in the footnotes of http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-unicast-address-assignments/ipv6-unicast-address-assignments.xml; '[2] 2001:0DB8::/32 has been assigned as a NON-ROUTABLE range to be used for documentation purpose [RFC3849].' This is consistent with how the IPv4 documentation prefixes are recorded in ://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xml I suspect it is not covered individually as it is a sub allocation from an APNIC allocation. Similarly with http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space/ipv6-address-space.xhtml, it is a sub allocation from the Global Unicast block.

It isn't listed either at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space/ipv6-address-space.xhtml nor at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-unicast-address-assignments/ipv6-unicast-address-assignments.xhtml Next to that, it would be nice IMHO if those three where at least interlinked with a HTML link for at least the xhtml versions.
