David, I think you missed Phillip's point. The average engineer at  
the IETF meeting isn't in control of significant aspects of his IT  
infrastructure, such as whether his IT department has enabled IPv6  
access to his mail server. Sure, I have IPv6 running on my Mac (it  
defaults "on" and I dont turn it off) and someone with IPv6 in their  
network can presumably get web pages from www.ipv6.cisco.com. That's  
not the same as "being productive".
