Linux text-based browsers supporting IPv6

In my Linux box, I have been using lynx as a text-based browser for testing. Today, I tried elinks and w3m.  It is good to see all the three text-based browsers can access IPv6 websites.

Think it other way. Browsers should have no difficulty in supporting IPv6 websites.  The primary function of a browser is to display HTML, pictures and mutltimedia contents.  It is up to the OS itself to resolve host names to AAAA records and to reach the destination IPv6 address. What roles would browsers have in terms of IPv6 ?
