  However, it's not illegal, AFAIK.  It's only illegal if you enter.  Either

  More relatedly, is there some sort of obligation with IPv6 to move all of
  your NAT'ed hosts away from NAT?  Just because you can doesn't make it a
  good idea.  I agree, NAT != security, but it does give one a single point
  to manage those hosts behind it.
