OK, I'll bite.

Let's assume what many people now seem to concede, which is that a large part
of the Internet is going to continue to be IPv4-only. So, what's the
functional difference between:

- A host which has an IPv6 only address, which it cannot use (without
"borrowing" a global IPv4 address) to comunicate directly with IPv4-only
hosts out on the global Internet.

- A host which has an IPv4 local-only address, which it cannot use (without
"borrowing" a global IPv4 address) to comunicate directly with other IPv4
hosts out on the global Internet.
