Recent observations of high redshift quasars at z~6 have finally revealed complete Gunn-Peterson absorption. However, this at best constrains the volume-weighted and mass-weighted hydrogen neutral fractions to be greater than 10^-3 and 10^-2 respectively; stronger constraints are not possible due to the high optical depth for hydrogen Lyman transitions.
