IPv6 address encoding in commonName

I am fiddling around with an intermediate CA signing cert that the CA's
'name' is it HIP (RFC 7401) HIT which is a valid IPv6 address. Actually
a Hierarchical HIT as in draft-moskowitz-hierarchical-hip (to be revised
soon).
For a client cert, it would be easy to put the HIT in subjectAltName per
RFC 8002 (with a null subjectName), but a CA cert MUST have a non-empty
subjectName.
Thus all I want in this subjectName is commonName with the HIT.
I am looking for examples of IPv6 addresses in commonName.
My searches today have come up empty.
Thank for any reference(s).
