When client receives an IPv4 address, it will assign it because it's
DHCPv4. The difference is to which interface the IPv4 address is assigned.
It's described in -00 version of this draft: "The IPv4 address allocated
from the server MAY be assigned to a
different interface from the IPv6 interface requesting the information."
Maybe it should be added back to cover this issue.
