IPv6? (was: Help: HOWTO buy IP address blocks from ARIN?)

Is there any sort of "idiot's 5 minute guide to IPv6" out there? My OpenWRT
router just kind of magically worked with Comcast, but I don't have a clue
how the address syntax works, what a prefix is, what blocks are
special-purpose (link-local, example, etc), or generally the what the v6
equivalents of the v4 stuff is. Everything I found so far seems to be a
glossy summary (IPv6 is good, it has lots of addresses! The end!), way too
in-depth (Cisco guides), or assumes way too much (you already know what
config file this is based on its syntax).
