SVCB/HTTPS vs. getaddrinfo: how to merge?

Folks,

  recent messages here mentioned some HTTPS and SVCB RRs.

This is completely news to me, so I gave it some read.
Then I found that these new tools are supposed to provide (IPv4 and
IPv6) addresses, which seems to me as rather strange from a
logical viewpoint.

Normally, the addresses to be used are provided by 'getaddrinfo',
which in turn gets substantial information from /etc/ip6addrctl.conf
(RFC 3484), which describes the client's physical connectivity
(e.g. which destinations can be reached from which subnets).

So I am wondering how this is supposed to interact. 

cheerio,
PMc
