David,

	how about lets leave IPv6 (mostly) out of the discussion?

) IPv4 will continue to be used/useful for the next N years (N==10-20). 

) Demand for IPv4 has outstripped supply.

) Until viable alternatives become available, the trend will be to find 
  more efficent ways to use the IPv4 pool.
