Oh, they weren't there yet when I made the original report :)
But those only include 2001::/16 not the current 6BONE (3ffe::/16) and
I guess they never will as we are moving to "official" allocations
now?
Then I would agree that ip6.arpa is okay but would still like to see
ip6.int as a backup especially if the 3ffe::/16 zones aren't moving to
ip6.arpa.

It seems that most providers haven't configured their servers for the
now zones yet, I got a lame delegation for every ip6.arpa zone that I
tried :(
