It is not useless- I am specificallyt talking about setting it up 
initially so that technically capable people can use and test the 
infrastructure without breaking anything for those people on v4 that have 
misconfigured v6 tunnels and the like (something that is not at all 
uncommon with Vista). If you just turn on AAAA records for www.google.com 
right now, lots of people will end up being unable to connect to 
www.google.com because of a broken tunnel- and right now ISP's are not 
primed to help their customers fix the problem.

Agreed.
