Except that if there's new evidence showing the figure is lower, let's see it :) The measurements we have made show 0.07% over the past month or so, the figure being users who can access a site with an A record, but not one with an A and AAAA record. There are still corner case issues out there, but I suspect that that small percentage may well be down to users who don't update their OS or software. It would be very interesting to know the real causes. I would hope things like 3484-bis and happy eyeballs will help reduce these further. Tim
