Aha!  Thank you.  This looks like a bug in the code for that, then, in
that it isn't replacing the existing host route with the LL route.

Well, you may not see this, then, but in case you do, thank you for
taking the time to explain things to me.  Eventually I'll get all this
stuff down....

No.  I was offering that as a reason I wasn't concerned about
renumbering breaking my route-to-global-address setup.

More like "it's so hard - witness DNS lack of support - that in
practice it's going to happen seldom enough that it's not worth
worrying about".

Eh.  Well, see my response to William Waites if you want my opinion of
that.  (Most briefly, I agree with the side you seem to.)

Me too.  I may try switching everything to /64s (it's cramped, but
it'll fit), and if, as I fully expect, it still misbehaves, maybe
itojun will then admit there's something wrong.

Advertising them?  Who should (for whatever value of "should") be
advertising them, to whom, and how?  I think there's another piece of
v6 I don't know lurking here....
