Thanks, Florian. I had hoped to have reponded over the week-end, but I
was busier than I expected and didn't pick this up again till yesterday
evening.  Answers should be forthcoming soon.

It would indeed mean that real ipv4-in-ipv6 addresses would be output in
ipv4 format.  It's been several months, so I can't quite remember my
thinking, but I probably inclined towards regarding the ambiguity as
benign.  I have spotted a problem with the existing patch, however, so
another version will definitely be needed, and I can look at eliminating
the ambiguity at the same time.
