  That makes no sense.  The name has *no* impact on the protocol.  It
could be named "XYZ-Foo", and still have the same functionality.

  The name *does* have impact on administrators of RADIUS systems, and
implementors of RADIUS specifications.  Using a name that follows
existing RADIUS naming practices is a good idea.  The above name does
*not* follow existing RADIUS naming practices.

  Again, using a name such as "IPv6-RD-Configuration", or
"IPv6-6rd-Configuration" *would* follow existing RADIUS naming
practices, with no loss of functionality or clarity.

  That's fine.
