(short, that's not how stuff works)

Again, I thought the point was making commercial IPv6 multihoming work. 
This is all fine and dandy on 6bone but my clients will not pay me for a
backup link that won't work when the primary provider goes down. No pay,
no multihoming. No multihoming no commercial offering. No commercial
offering, no happy fun end-to-end IPv6. Game set and match.
(and yes, this is even more true for hosting than home users)
