It might be a worthwhile project. Obviously, the encapsulation would need to understand IP6. For CLIP, the ARP code would also need to be updated. The question is whether anyone would use it (IP6 on HARP). I do have a "spare time" project of getting RFC1483 bridged encapsulation into HARP, but that may be a while yet.
