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: https://www.sixxs.net/wiki/IPv6_Enabled_Hosting
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.
