Hello Nick!

You can advertise what you want but without configuring it as their DNS provider it has no use
If I told Michiel that my IPv6 was ::1 and he would use that for his IPv6 lists .. mwoah ;)
it does not exist for my fido.domain.com but I can tell I am using it.
Probably I than get a lesson from Michiel about it ..

Indeed.
But .. if you had it in use for ie. 2 years and you do not use fido anymore and you forget about it
or your IPv6 has been changed cause sometimes that happens and you forget about your DNS..
than your DNS has an advertised IPv6 but does not work anymore as you are unaware that your IPv6 has been changed.
