AAAA is depricated but still supported. If you fear that you might have
systems that can't do RFC 2874 type A6 chains, BIND 9 has an option that
allows RFC 1886 lookups to be done on A6 chains.

I'd love to know what, if any, resolvers can do 1886 lookups but not 2874.
Does anyone know?

I am interested to know why you dismiss A6 out of hand with no
information. Have you come across RFC 1886-only resolvers?
