6in4: Address assignment to interfaces?

So I am writing a 6in4 script for netcfg. The last step in tunnel_up() is to assign the IPv6 address(es) to the newly created tunnel interface...

1. Should I just add the addresses to tun0? This is the simplest way.

2. Should I add address[es] to the carrier interface (eth0), and just add $addr/128 to tun0? This lets other LAN users reach this PC using its global IP address[es], which seems like an obvious thing to have, and this is the current behavior.

3. ...what if the LAN is on a different interface than the one used by tunnel? (for example, Internet access on eth0 and LAN on eth1.)
