Tim, You're missing the point - I'm hardly assuming security is in place. What I objected to was the claim that there will be many V4 hosts with good and working firewalls, who will not be protected if addressed by V6. Will there be a few home users who have a mangled network at layer 1 and get screwed by autoconfiguration? Sure. Is there going to be an epidemic of hosts that have a V4 firewall, but no V6 firewall AND V6 addressability? Absolutely not. This is a non-issue, and not a very interesting one at that.
