Yes; the draft is expanding beyond the current ABNF fix to also correct
or more clearly document other IPv6 areas of rfc3261.

I'm not sure which aspect of mapping you are mentioning.
Draft-ietf-sipping-v6-transition and
draft-ietf-sipping-ipv6-torture-tests discuss some of the potential
issues.

I'm not sure that I understand the matching comment.  The current
understanding is that an IPv6 address does not equal an IPv4 address
from a SIP equality perspective.  However there are obviously
situations/services on a device where they might be treated the same:
identity, access control, etcetera.

There are situations where an IPv6 address contains an IPv4 address.
However I currently doubt that we need to discuss the matter beyond
highlighting such an address concerning equality and maybe additionally
503, looping, downgrading to IPv4, etcetera.
