   instead, i think that i have far more arguments against usage of
   ipv4-mapped addresses on the api than on the wire (nowadays many unix oses
   have a very useful configuration option for dropping ipv6 packets with
   ipv4-mapped addresses).
   ...
   
=> we obviously disagree nearly as much as possible. So don't expect
to reach any consensus about the two mentioned drafts...
