	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

	meeting at th venue, i'll try to show up there.
