Personal opinion only...

A key part of the intent of Internet Drafts is that they be
generally available to anyone interested on the Internet.  I
understand the motivations for experiments and demonstrations
but, if something is posted that is deliberately inaccessible to
someone who cannot not or will not use IPv6, it invalidates the
function of the document as a generally-accessible I-D and
presumably could result in a process problem (or appeal) if
there were any attempt to move it into an IETF consensus process.

Please do demonstrations and experiments in another way.

On the difference of Draft vs Rant.

A draft is submitted via the IETF website, versioned, subject to the restrictions described in the relevant RFCs and processes and accessible to THE ENTIRE INTERNET COMMUNITY via the ietf website.

Something restricted by the author based on arbitrary criteria and accessible via an arbitrary mechanism is a rant.

This is regardless of the mechanism being NetBIOS, IPX, RFC1149 or RFC2549. All are equally good for ranting and selective presentation only to the chosen ones.

So if ranting is desired, the rantee can go and rant wherever he/she likes over whatever protocol he/she likes, it is not an IETF, IETF WG or IETF mailing list matter.

I would like to submit an Internet Draft but I want it to be
read only with IPv6 https (not IPv4).
Make sure it is *truly* IPv6 only for additional fun. So, the
name servers should also only have AAAA records.

An example of what I mean can be found here:

And speaking of IPv6 fun; I still like http://42.be/ quite a
lot.
