As you pointed out, currently SHIM6 only handles IPv6 addresses
in its locator management.  But in the future, it could also
support IPv4 locator as well.  It is addressed in Section 1.3 of
Erik Nordmark's draft <draft-nordmark-shim6-esd-00.txt>.

So, there is not need to exclude IPv4 locator management from
the common part, I think.

Shinta
