Well, actually it's not "ICANN" that has to support this, but your local
registrar.  For some TLDs, they don't support v6 glue records yet (.DE, 
for example), for others, it has been announced a while ago (NSI for
.com/.net/.org) but I haven't seen any evidence that it's actually
supported by now.

So the best approach would be to actually talk to your registrar about
what exactly you want to achieve, and then report your findings to us :)
