True, but the location information, at least the state, is quasi-helpful. You may be right about PTR being a mistake, but I guess my mind approaches it from a practical, quasi-GeoIP approach.
IPv6 seems to be somewhat chaotic in that realm. Plus, with web applications and services, accurate GeoIP has implications for security.
