4.2.1. DNS64

DNS64 resolvers synthesize responses to AAAA queries for names that only have an A record (Section 5.1.7 of [RFC6147]). SVCB-aware DNS64 resolvers SHOULD apply the same synthesis logic when resolving AAAA records for the TargetName for inclusion in the Additional section (Step 2 in Section 4.2) and MAY omit the A records from this section.

DNS64 resolvers MUST NOT extrapolate the AAAA synthesis logic to the IP hints in the SvcParams (Section 7.3). Modifying the IP hints would break DNSSEC validation for the SVCB record and would not improve performance when the above recommendation is implemented.
