"supporting IPv6" <--- what it means exactly?

Is there any clear understanding of what "supporting IPv6" means?

I recently was told by a vendor that they "supported IPv6", and then when I went to go configure an IPv6 address, it 
was, of course, IPv4. I asked how they supported that, and they said that they "supported it" because they could "pass 
IPv6" traffic.

Well...duh!
