Looking at https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/proposed-additional-operation-07mar13-en.pdf there is nothing which requires registrars to support AAAA on the web pages when A records are supported on web pages. AAAA and DS updates currently often required registrants to jump through all sorts of hoops compared to adding A and NS records. Maintenance of A, AAAA, NS and DS records are core functionality and need to be treated as such. -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: ma...@isc.org
