grumble-grumble... apologies I got my names confused (and history
confused). My point here was that perhaps calling NetSol might not
have been the right place to call, or perhaps other people think of
Netsol/Verisign in the "Xerox of registration" way that apparently I
do?
(or did)

Is it in the best interest of Verisign to push back on registrars in
some way to support AAAA in their side of the problem? Is this an
ICANN problem to pursue instead?

maybe these are there from other folks doing the 72+hr dance on the
