Except you can't enable it because your software doesn't support it. What you're describing sounds very similar to a NAT64 network. You can address an IPv4 host by 64:ff9b::8.8.8.8

It's not NAT64 or 6to4. An ipv6 host doesn't own such an address; it goes to a relay, and the v6 host is using a random unrelated v6 address. The ipv5 thing is ipv6 natively using ipv4 /32s.
