I'm an IPv6 fan as well but I needed to disable IPv6 Link Local on my Xen host (Dom0) so that it is not accessible by routing through a computer on my local network. This computer doesn't have an IPv4 address either (but the virtual machines do). I found this post very helpful.

But why would you bother to do this, as a desktop user? IPV6 might come along one day :) If you manage a server and want to lock it down, sure, it makes sense to close all ports.
