I worked for DISA at the time of GOSIP, in their Network Infrastructure group. My boss was a major critic, and was on one of the important boards (DISA would have to deploy GOSIP internally before anyone else would be able to use it). He came in to his office very, very happy one day. I also remember X.400 and X.500.
Trust me, IPv6 really is different from GOSIP. In the former case, the drivers are outside the government, mainly in Asia. In the latter case, the sole driver was the government, and no one outside of the government wanted to touch it. More importantly, there are a lot of places that are using IPv6 in the real world, and that never happened with GOSIP.
