Must have been old (very old?) code when I first tried this.  12.4(15)T  
doesn't seem to care.

But it still doesn't allow transitional addresses:
gw(config-if)#ipv6 address 0::101:101/96
%FastEthernet0/0: Error: ::1.1.1.1/96 is invalid

gw(config-if)#ipv6 address 0::101:101/128
%FastEthernet0/0: Error: ::1.1.1.1/128 is invalid

If I cannot set an IPv4 address like that, the tunnel won't work.  DHCPv6  
requests end up outside the tunnel. (it's been many months since I messed  
with it, so the interface isn't in the config anymore, but the IPSEC setup  
still is :-))  I can send you the packet dumps if you want to scratch your  
head over it.
