    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.
