at the risk of sounding a trifle unthankful, I wonder whether the two  
AAAA records could be added to that for www.google.com, making the  
standard google search bar reachable by IPv6. It would be nice if as  
a result of the relevant engineer's work Google now had a service  
that was in common use and measurable by google in such a way as to  
guide them to widen it over time.
