ah, well, at least I know I'm not crazy for not finding something there...

the issues I know of are:

  does the v6 subjectaltname field parse properly

  do implementations do the dns reverse lookup thing

  can you buy a certificate from a retail certificate authority

and then of course there would be the question of whether the underlying
protocol stack sufficiently supported the BIO code and all that.

Gee, I wonder if Vista supports v6 certs in IE 7...
