        if I were you I'd propose to drop RFC conformance and disable IPv4
        mapped address by default, and have IPV6_V6ONLY socket option for
        re-enabling it (= kame/netbsd behavior).  when default bevhavior is
        on insecure side I get worried.

        another issue is bind(2) ordering and conflict table... :-P
