The other thought that occurred to me, does FF/Safari/IE have any
ability to default back to v4 if v6 is not working or behaving
badly?  This could be a helpful transition feature but may be more
trouble than it's worth.

Browsers are pretty good at falling back on a different address in
general / IPv4 in particular when the initial try doesn't work,

"Pretty good" as in there is a browser standard to poke for v6 then v4
or is this a stack behavior?
