Most enterprise have a lot of legacy applications, so I'd imagine running 
IPv6 only without being able to do IPv4 literals just won't cut it.

When I tried running NAT64/DNS64 on a Win7 machine a year ago, not even 
MSN messenger worked. Very few applications apart from web browsing 
worked. I can imagine a lot of software for video conferencing etc won't 
work properly without being able to access things over IPv4.

I got a private pointer to <http://www.gogo6.com/freenet6/dslite> which 
might be one way to solve it.
