I, for one, have no idea what a "client on IPv4-mapped IPv6 address"

If you describe in a little bit more detail what the intent is, we
can help you reformulate.
Thanks for feedback.
For context the text is in the ninth paragraph of Section 5 of
draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis-14. I'll rewrite the text as follows:
SPF implementations on IPv6 servers need to handle both "AAAA" and
"A" DNS records, for SMTP clients on IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses [RFC4291].
The intent seems to be about an IPv4 host (client) connecting to an
IPv6 host (server). The IPv6 host matches the source IP address of
the TCP connection against a list which may contain IPv4 mapped IPv6
addresses. Does that make sense or it is easier to forget about
"IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses"?
