>> DS-Lite client needs to be implemented as a protocol on the CPE. NAT64 has a big catch in that it assumes your PC (or smart mobile host for that matter) is not on dual-stack, i.e. an IPv6-only host, which is a challenge. NAT64 also needs reworking the DNS infrastructure.

That should read:

...it does not need NAT64 and shouldn't be talking to a NAT64 nameserver.
