No mapping is desired or necessary because they are for use in different contexts. There may be some consistency between them in the low order 64 bits (interface ID), but it is not required that a node respond to an address that is derived from another format. See RFC2373 sec 2.5.7 & 2.5.8, or more precisely see draft-ietf-ipngwg-addr-arch-v3-07.txt sec 2.5.4 & 2.5.6.
