That is playing with words. In that case, any router that delivers native 
IPv6 to the hosts (by having the tunnel software on the router, not on the 
hosts) can be called a native solution.

This is just flat out WRONG. ANY solution that needs IPv4 to transport IPv6 
is NOT native IPv6, and regardless of who states it and their great 
contributions, it will remain the same.

Some please stop calling things what they are not; a native IPv6 solution is 
one that works when IPv4 has been removed, anything else is called a 
transition mechanism.

We have, it seems, a different understanding of the situation.

The distinction to be made, and which I make, is between
- native addresses vs well-known-prefix addresses (the former start with an ISP 
allocated prefix, the latter, e.g. those of 6to4 and Teredo, have a routing 
problem in the Internet backbone)
- native IPv6 routing (IPv6-only or dual stack) vs IPv4-only routing 

6rd is designed to offer native IPv6 prefixes across IPv4-only routing domains.
