I'm not sure this is true:
o the end-station sends a dns query to the ISP recursive resolver
o the recursive resolver uses whichever protocol is 'best' for the
lookup (assuming something like BIND's NS RTT caching happens in the
majority of cases)
o if the query goes over ipv6, is for a AAAA, a AAAA response could be returned
o if the query goes over ipv4, is for a AAAA, no response is returned
and presumably a follow-up A query happens.

Igor/Yahoo are proposing that recursive resolvers which have v6
transport use it and be rewarded for doing so... if they have a
longer/worse path over ipv6 there's a good chance the user experience
will also suffer, so the users should use v4.
