I don't dispute this.  Telling people who don't have a lot of experience
with IPv6, though, to put their services in the same name as AAAA is not
often the best solution though.  

_When_ they're confortable enough with "IPv6 production", the move from
xxx.ipv6.yyy.com to (also) xxx.yyy.com is usually not a problem.

My point is that it's easy to begin with a separate zone -- there are no
(potentially) negative side-effects -- and move to combined zone when you
gain experience and feel confortable doing so.
