Absolutely agreed.  I've been silently adding more and more AAAA records 
for existing A records as I add v6 bindings for them.  One thing I have 
found is that its very seamless for me as I switch from v4 and v6 enabled 
workstations.  However, I tend to always have v6 available in most of the 
places I'm typically using my machines, and I don't run Vista, which I'm 
told causes a majority of the problems.  Its a pity I can't get any real 
information for how many users attempted to connect to an AAAA without 
having v6 network access.
