Comment(by arma):

 Right -- the bridge authority can simply start testing ipv6 bridges just
 like it tests ipv4 bridges (directly).

 Longer-term, we might move to a world in which bridges self-test and the
 bridge authority just believes them. In that case, I bet they'll want to
 self-test using the bridge's guard (proposal 188). We'll also want to
 reconsider, given the "jerk signs up thousands of bridges that claim to be
 up" attack.
