I’d just like to point out, that Pandora’s box has already been opened by *the search engine*. Transport layer and content server performance already affects content ranking, even though “fewer than 1% of search queries are affected by the site speed signal in their implementation”. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/04/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html
Should *the search engine* announce that IPv6 content availability will improve site’s ranking for a % or two, I believe that would generate massive pressure on content and hosting providers to provide IPv6.
