Future applications are the easiest to deal with.
 
If we have a proper encapsulation of the network layer the application
will run fine on either an IPv6 or an IPv4/NAT network or a
transitional IPv6 plus NAT pool of IPv4 addresses. The only thing that
the application designer needs to take care of is that they use an
appropriately structured API that can handle 32/128 bit address
issues. This is no different in principle from what is involved in
writing clean 32/64 code.
I always find these kinds of statements amusing.
