Excellent idea!  I've passed it on to my girlfriend, who is the real
graphic artist around here, and she created some better graphics that are
on the page now.

Yeah, I like having goodies for IPv6 users only.  :-)  I've added the UK 
site to <http://v6web.litech.org/howto-tell.html>.

The point of the web bug is for IPv4-only sites to detect their
IPv6-enabled users as kind of a survey, in case the admin doesn't know
whether it would be worth upgrading the real site to IPv6.  I changed 
the text on the webpage a bit to clarify this...  -Nathan
