Getting the AAAA record for a host is not exactly the same as both reaching it via IPV6 and getting good performance out of it....<BR>

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