If your suggestion is to write that "IPv4 MNP should be kept in
IPv4-mapped IPv6 address in IPv6 prefix tables", then I am against.
That kind of design should be implementation matter.

As Vijay said in the following mail, simply saying that the prefix
table can keep both IPv6 and IPv4 prefixes seems enough to me.
