Isn't it already way too late to activate the v6 PDP context if you wait 
until looking up the addresses, because PDP context activation takes a lot 
of time?

And actually, if an application gets e.g. both AAAA and A records back
from the DNS, you don't know which will end up being used.

The point of the reword was to state that activating based on the peer 
address basis doesn't usually make sense, and application-based activation 
may not either..
