My take:
Think of DNSxL as an exercise in steganography: A few bits of
information are encoded into something that looks an awful lot like an
IP address and can be carried over a channel intended to transmit IP
addresses. Otherwise it's an opaque value.
The choice of 127.0.0.0/8 and ANY sort of range in the IPv6 address
space is truly irrelevant. These are not IP addresses; they just look
like IP addresses.

DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING EQUIVALANT TO IPV4's 127.0.0.0/8 address range
