White-listing, as i understand it, is about containment to control the
negative impacts of those who do not know or care about this "ipv6"
you speak of.  White-listing just allows the ISP and content provider
to make planful steps towards IPv6, vs Huge-Content-Player hit the
switch on IPv6 now my helpdesk is overloaded, and people use an
alternate huge content player.
