future.
This is an area that we very clearly do not need to get involved in because
it will solve itself due to market forces. Right now there is no IPv6-only
content that anyone cares about. When that changes, users will start
demanding that their provider give them access to it, or vote with their feet.
Whenever people talk about the Internet as if it were just about "access to
content", I have to wonder. The Internet has always been more about
conversation than content.
To summarize my main point once again, there is nothing for the IETF to do
here, the problem will take care of itself.
Quite the contrary. We still don't have a good transition mechanism that
HOMENET could specify. 6to4 has problems as we're now painfully aware;
configured tunnels and Teredo have different problems. There's still room for
work in this space if better solutions can be identified. Though it doesn't
seem appropriate to ask the HOMENET WG to develop them.
