What a horrible idea. Applications automatically pre- or appending crap to domain name labels shouldn't be done, period.
I won't argue that, but it happens.And I do make use of it. When I am back from a trip I type in "dilbert" and see the comic appear. The next time I type in "d" and my browswer fills in the whole URL.
The IPv6 Internet is a different network than the IPv4 Internet. Same names invites confusion and unhappiness.
Hmmm, I draw the opposite conclusion. The network layers are different but the service ends are the same, so I would prefer the $same_name.
If you want to read Dilbert on-line and I tell you that it is available at a certain URL, would you rather I give you "http://www.dilbert.com" or that I send you "if you use IPv4 then http://www.dilbert.com" else if you use IPv6 then http://www6.dilbert.com else buy a newspaper"?
