I didn’t think you did but it highlights the problems with DNS64.  DNS64 does 
not work with address literals.

Why do you think that promoting this niche fix is better that promoting that 
OS’s support 464XLAT, DS-Lite at the OS level?  The later fixes the issues for 
every application on the node.  We have well specified
signalling for when a node to bring up 464XLAT, MAP-E, MAP-T, DS-Lite.  We 
should be encouraging nodes to do just that when the signalling is present.  We 
should be encouraging CPE router vendors to support copying the signalling from 
the ISP side to the internal side similar to how they do with DNS recursive 
server signalling by default except when configured not to.

If a node can’t attach to an IPv6-only network and use the transition mechanism 
offered without applications have to know anything about it then it is 
deficient. DNS servers are an application in this context.

The IETF should be trying to winnow down the number of transition mechanisms 
that vendors need to support. Less is actually more here and unfortunately we 
have not done a good job of pushing back on excessive choice.
