* In most cases, your ISP will probably use technologies to allow
  IPv4 customers to reach IPv6 parts of the Internet.

ROTFLOL

No ISP will be able to do this reliably.  It really is a hard
problem.  It would be much better to tell them that there Windows
(XP onwards), Mac and Linux support IPv6 and that they will need
to upgrade their routers once their ISP says they support IPv6.
