This is a pointless exercise, but anyway...
| Do you mean that they'll look for A6 and _not_ AAAA?
I meant if they did that - I'm not expecting it to be very likely.
| If so, they'll cut themselves off from practically the entire IPv6
| network: administrators provide addresses as AAAA, not A6.
Some now do both.. but they wouldn't, the point of the original
comment was that whatever the dominant market share does, everyone
else is forced to follow. If 90% of the clients happened to be
doing A6 lookups, then administrators would be providing A6 records.
