In the past we've used "www6" for v6 only,
"www4" for v4 only, and "www" 
has both v6 and v4.  This means people can verify their v6
connectivity 
by visiting www6, or they can avoid v6 if they have local
problems by 
using www4 (since the site contains information on setting 
up/troubleshooting v6 it's possible they can't get to it via
v6), but if 
they don't know/care they end up on "www" which
gives them whatever 
their software thinks it can support.

Which works fine for you and me, but not for my mother.


Another suggestion I have heard is having www A-only, and
www6 AAAA- 
only, and transparently redirecting if they have IPv6
connectivity.  
Of course, that requires an IPv4 bootstrap, so is rather
pointless.
