   I have never seen the "IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses on the wire"
   argument raised in relation to ISATAP,

=> ISATAP doesn't use them and the issue is *only* for IPv4-mapped
IPv6 addresses, not any other IPv6 addresses with embedded IPv4.

   but since ISATAP
   addresses also embed an IPv4 address in the interface identifier
   I assume that some may see this as a concern.
   
=> your assumption is wrong.
