IMO, we should just say "IPv6 addresses" (the critical thing here is the size of the address -- no checks are done to validate them!), and nothing about mapped addresses. If some want to push mapped addresses in there, that's fine by me -- if your DNS resolver supports mapped addresses in /etc/resolv.conf (or equivalent).
