Boy, this is drifting rather badly from the NANOG charter.
That said, let be disabuse you of a notion: if someone wants to put up
a web site, it's very, very easy to find a place that can provide an
IPv4 IP address for the service. It won't be a *private* IPv4 address,
but... Frankly, there are plenty of Web hosts that provide the service.
Not good enough? Try using a cloud service to host your private WWW
server.
Still not good enough? Use a Web host and its IPv4 access to layer-7
proxy your IPv6-only web site. Finding a Web hosting company with IPv6
support is a little more effort. Start with this list:

When I was working for a Web hosting company, along with 60 or so
shared-hosting servers, we had one monster CPanel server (offering
dirt-cheap low-performance hosting) with more than 1,000 sites on it,
served by a single IP address.
