IPv6 assignments to DNS root servers in the RIPE region

Have a TLA by root server is acceptable. We can then have a fixed root.hint
and, why not, include it inside the DNS servers (if root servers never change,
why specify them in a dynamic configuration file ?).

It can be a default config to have out of the box working DNS servers.

But it could be a good thing to explicitly forbid the use of these TLA to any
other purpose than hosting a root server and its basic network infrastructure.
If organization foo has the X root server and use par of X root server's TLA
for anything else, it can be a problem the day organization foo stops hosting
the service and has to give back the TLA.

We can also change the rfc to add, for example that root servers are located in
specific, static adresses.
