AAAA on various websites, but they all forgot to enable them on their nameservers....

Speaking strictly for myself, we didn't "forget". First of all, 
that's not what World IPv6 Day was supposed to be about -- it's not about 
ipv6-only users, it's about dual-stacking content (if your ISP doesn't 
have enough ip's to dual-stack their recursive resolvers, you have 
bigger problems right now :) ).. 

Also, and more importantly, our data shows that 0.5% of the users can't 
resolve hostnames if we enabled AAAA glue on all resolvers... And, before 
somebody asks, I don't have any data on what happends if you enable 
v6-glue to only 1 of your NS's though :)
