Nothing specific in mind, but I'm looking if we can specify the same
rules in IPv6 and IPv4:

Retaking your example:

 import: protocol STATIC into BGP4
       from AS2764
       accept AS2764:RS-PROVIDER^0-30

In IPv6, would that be equivalent to the following (abstraction made for
the prefix length values)? :

 import: protocol IPv6 into BGP4
       from AS2764
       accept AS2764:RS-PROVIDER^0-30

Seems that we loose the fact that we wanted to inject static routes only.
Should the dictionary be extended to specify IPv6 to the protocol values ?
(OSPF6, RIP6, STATIC6, ...)

That was why I previously mentionned that an extra keyword may be needed:

 import: address-family IPv6 protocol STATIC into BGP4
       from AS2764
       accept AS2764:RS-PROVIDER^0-30

Keep in mind that I may fail to see something obvious here. But I can
learn ;-)
