Actually, i agree that such EULA in FrontPage is not THAT big issue. But, when they gave this into FP's EULA, are you sure they won't put it into VStudio.NET (used for developing their ASP pages). IIS would be also very very nice place for such thing;)
You really think that there are only uni users using IPv6? No way! There are numerous _free_, automatic Tunnelbrokers (see http://www.hs247.com
which allows every kiddie to have their 0wn 31337 tunnel (yes, those:dead:beef). Sadly, some (ab)users doesn't even know what ipv6 is, just they are happy that they have 31337 host. And yes, DDoS with ipv6 is not as easy. But you can easily spoof v4 SIT packets...
Users in Czech Republic can use roaming. In some countries (Germany) you can use all services (including online billing) In others roaming is implemented via callback.
There's no point in adding such feature to OS as long as you have full root/administrator privileges. Since you can load your own tcp stack which will allow this. And such obscure layer won't stop fucking kiddiez from doing DDoS attacks, they will just download newer sources/binary with kernel modules/dlls included
The thing which WOULD help, is to enlight lazy administrators about setting proper ACLs on routers. Ie that routers will drop spoofed packets and possibly deny any malicious inbound traffic (read scans ran across whore internet searching for insecure boxes). After all, from my own experience (I'm running IRC server on major network), most attacks come from insecure University boxes , which often have pretty good pipes.

hmm... doesn't it also mean that ANY server-like application (apache,identd(!), any form of authentication daemon, etc..) is not allowed ?

And I wondered why my little apache running on almost unknown site got so much hits today with strange shellcode...

DalNet isn't the biggest network either. With 139 servers and peak of 98644 is the IrcNet.
