For an IPv6-only device, it will only try IPv6...there is no fall back to
IPv4.

So, the device will only ask for aaaa ever... it will never as for "a"
record

Since a natural "AAAA" exists, the DNS64 will never send back a synthesize
"AAAA"  to the IPv6 only user.

So, for IPv6-only users, they will not have any access to a site with
broken ipv6.

Generally speaking, it is better to have no IPv6 access than broken IPv6.
