One can also have Dual Stack-lite (which is what I have at home) where
one only has a public IPv6 address and any IPv4 access is routed through
a NAT of the ISP. So it is definitely possible to tunnel IPv4 through
IPv6, though this won't allow you to directly connect IPv6 to IPv4 (you
always need a NAT inbetween for that).
