was it a deliberate ommission that RFC6724 does not mention a precedence value
for the well-known NAT64 prefix 64:ff9b::/96?

If a host has both IPv4 and IPv6 configured it should probably use the native
IPv4 connectivity to connect to the target instead of the translated
IPv6-to-IPv4 access.

This has been discussed in BEHAVE numerous times. The current consensus is: no, NAT64 is not "worse" than IPv4.

From the host's point of view, you don't know that IPv4 is not NATed as well. You don't even know if it is "native": it could be provided by DS-Lite for all you know.

From the operator's point of view, if you deploy a NAT64 in a dual-stack network, that probably means you *want* traffic to go over NAT64 rather than over IPv4. You probably want *less* native IPv4 traffic in your network so that eventually you can make your network fully IPv6-only.
