And most clients just send a DNS name and a set of IP version flags.

For the rare cases where literal addresses are used, or there are IPv6-only websites over DNS, tor could be smarter.

Not as rare as vanilla websurfing oriented people think. There are lots of tech implementors, pen test companies, diagnostics, p2p application developers, torrenters, etc... who use nothing but literal IPv4/6 numeric addresses over tor all day long. This is why it *sucks* that MAPADDRESS hasn't yet been enhanced to support even the simplest of /CIDR mapping semantics. *.fqdn DNS is hardly half the picture.
