Aggregation for IPv4-compatible IPv6 address space

Mon Feb 4 04:18:54 UTC 2008

in the most recent architecture, rfc 4291, that was deprecated. The  
exact statement is

2.5.5.1.  IPv4-Compatible IPv6 Address

    The "IPv4-Compatible IPv6 address" was defined to assist in the IPv6
    transition.  The format of the "IPv4-Compatible IPv6 address" is as
    follows:

    |                80 bits               | 16 |      32 bits        |
    +--------------------------------------+--------------------------+
    |0000..............................0000|0000|    IPv4 address     |
    +--------------------------------------+----+---------------------+

    Note: The IPv4 address used in the "IPv4-Compatible IPv6 address"
    must be a globally-unique IPv4 unicast address.

    The "IPv4-Compatible IPv6 address" is now deprecated because the
    current IPv6 transition mechanisms no longer use these addresses.
    New or updated implementations are not required to support this
    address type.

I should think you are within bounds to not announce it at all.
