They might have been concerned about dual-stack implementations. For
example. you can have a TCP socket that accepts both IPv4 and IPv6
connections. Nevertheless, in those cases I believe you get an IPv4 address
mapped into an IPv6 address...

Or perhaps this was a misguided attempt to be as general as possible?
