RE: RFC2767 implementation and deployment experience?

["Templin, Fred L" <Fred.L.Templin@boeing.com>]

I wasn't kidding when I asked this. There is a perceived
requirement for supporting legacy IPv4-only applications 
on dual-stack end systems for communication with IPv6-only
correspondents. To my understanding, this was the use case
for which RFC2767 was designed but I have been unable to
turn up any useful information other than the RFC itself.

Is there a hole in the IPv6 transition plan?

Thanks - Fred
