You're kidding, right?

You're actually expecting folks who couldn't set up VCR timers to  
configure _subnets_?

        I have friends that are using multiple subnets in IPv4
        without being aware they are.  One net is a doubly
        NAT'd wireless network. 

        It really should be no harder in IPv6.  Plug the router
        in.  It get a "upstream" address vi autoconf/dhcp.  It
        requests a prefix allocation of its down stream via
        DHCP which the edge router supplies by using a unallocated
        prefix it has or by relaying / combining the request.
