In an attempt to ensure the all important objective of connecting to the requisite chat room during the plenary I tried out ietf-v6ONLY today.

Issues discovered (OS/X Lepoard on a MacBook Air):

1) Firefox does not allow an IPv6 URL to be entered into the address bar, fe80::... was turned into http://www.fe80.com/...

2) iChat and Adium were both unable to connect to my gmail identity server so I was unable to connect to any chat room whatsoever.


Conclusion: Not only does it not work, the level of user intervention required is such that I am going to have to retreat to a small desert island (no Internet) during the transition phase or spend 110% of my time fixing the transition problems of all my relatives. Might as well be using IPv8...

This has to be completely transparent to the end user. The current scheme requires double ended adoption before IPv6 gives me the same level of usability as IPv4.
