 NAK.  The text correctly describes the scenario.  You have two IPv6
networks, between which you set up a SIT tunnel which transmits data
between the two networks encapsulated in IPv4 packets.  If you find the
text not self-explanatory, then perhaps the sentence could be rewritten as
follows:

"This is useful if you want to connect two IPv6 networks to each other
over an IPv4-only path."
