   right. but this is not the real problem.

=> this is the real problem: your problem is in fact a consequence.

   the real problem is if
   AF_INET6 family should be a catch-all extension of AF_INET or if
   they should be an unrelated, being AF_INET6 a totally different type of
   socket from AF_INET.
   
   i vote for the second option.
   
=> and RFC 2553 specifies the first option.
