Tony's answer is quite correct for ILNPv6, which is
the best documented case.  The ILNPv6 Locator is simply 
a 64-bit topologically relevant "IPv6 Routing Prefix".

Noel's answer is similarly correct for ILNPv4.
The ILNPv4 Locator is simply a 32-bit topologically 
relevant "IPv4 Routing Prefix".



Later, Noel Chiappa asked:

Using an option is clearly one possible design choice.

The simplest design option might be just to map a 32-bit
IPv4 prefix into the ILNPv6 Locator field in a structured
way.  RFC-4291, Section 2.5.5, defines at least 2 different
ways that such a mapping might be performed.
