Yes, and the RPF's are downloadable from the various .gov sites. It just
depends on which market/business/... one is in.

Asian countries do it a lot (India*, Japan, Korea, China from the top of
my head). Also read up at http://www.ipv6style.jp/en/ for instance which
carries a lot of actually interesting original articles. Oh and yes,
there is reason to learn Japanese: one can actually then keep up with
all the real cool new toys on this planet ;)
Greets,
