Right now the tor-hidden-service only supports IPv4 naming scheme,
while it is possible to define IPv6 for tor aswell.

Someone should fix this.

man tor:

HIDDEN SERVICE OPTIONS
The following options are used to configure a hidden service.

…

HiddenServicePort VIRTPORT [TARGET]
Configure a virtual port VIRTPORT for a hidden service. You may use this option multiple times; each
time applies to the service using the most recent HiddenServiceDir. By default, this option maps the
virtual port to the same port on 127.0.0.1 over TCP. You may override the target port, address, or
both by specifying a target of addr, port, addr:port, or unix:path. (You can specify an IPv6 target as
[addr]:port. Unix paths may be quoted, and may use standard C escapes.) You may also have multiple
lines with the same VIRTPORT: when a user connects to that VIRTPORT, one of the TARGETs from those
lines will be chosen at random.

‘tor-hidden-service’ does not interpret addresses. So one could write,
say:

(80 . "[::1]:80")

and that’d be IPv6 (talking to localhost over IPv6 is great ;-)).
It is what you had in mind?

I agree, someone!

Oh. Okay, I did not even try it because I live on the dark side of IPv6 ;)
Then all which needs to be done is a small extension of the documentation
of tor-hidden-service.

I’m still interested in the doc patch :-), but I’m closing the bug
because it was not an actual bug, AIUI.
