;; QUESTION SECTION:

www.google.com.		433737	IN	CNAME	www.l.google.com.

Pehaps, like google's ipv6 tester program, the other folks on your
list above give different answers depending upon who asks?

I agree that having content available is key to some form of good
debugging and success for this endeavor, but... the above sites
bread/butter is made on the current internet protocol version being
quick/accurate/complete for their end users. Giving worse performance
on a 'new'  protocol isn't acceptable and AAAA will not appear
globally for them until ipv4 and ipv6 performance is equal for their
userbases.
