That's pointless, because the IPv6 spec, against which
implementations have been heavily tested, reject such packets.
You seem to have missed that the proposal includes a relaxation of
the constraint that zero-checksum UDP datagrams MAY be accepted by
hosts ion the future, just to avoid unnecessary black holes in case
of v4 to v6 translations.
Is progress from what is implemented today a taboo?
(I hope not.)
There is really no substitute for doing the right thing.
Agreed.
