this comic part is pretty important context, but many might not have gotten it.

So Ole is saying that we need a 14th specification/standard in order to
bind the existing 13 (although I'm not sure how he got 13)

I'm also dismayed at the number of efforts.
It would be nice to convene a summit of operators (at RIPE or NANOG) and 
describe the various mechanisms and rather than ask them which one they like,
ask them which one they would *NEVER* consider.  That might reduce the
field by half...

My gut is that until we have a unified story and some fielded product on
deploying v4 over v6, that for a number of ISPs, adding v6 is just added cost
with no savings.
