Huh? I've been running PPTP over NAT for years - I'm doing it right
now. But it would be great if the ISPs began to migrate; tools (e.g.
tunneling) are available to allow them to do so even if their upstreams
lag.

That's right today.
Another 5 years later you would be singing a different tune. -
scalability, better bandwidth management (a.k.a QOS), mobile devices,
internet appliances will nail v4 down - UMTS will add some spice to the
pot. I agree a user cannot do much unless the ISPs and Org
routers/switches deploy v6. But that's not too far away as more
sophisticated uses come up.
Incidentally, have you tried running apps like ftp over IPsec or
L2TP/PPTP over NAT.
