Just curious, are there hosts that literally have a DNS64 component for
communication with the IPv4 internet?

One of the (many) problems with DNS64 in combination with NAT64 is that
it doesn't provide a solution for IPv4 literals.

This can be solved by either running a CLAT on the host or a library
that can synthesize the right IPv6 address based on an IPv4 address.
If a library already has that capability, then why introduce DNS64 as well?
