In your previous mail you wrote:
Ahh, a nasty person might then ask: why are we burdening all other
addresses with this <scope_type>
<address>%<scope_type>.<id_in_the_scope>
when they don't need it, and the only place where it would be needed
(that MIB example), is not actually using address at all!
=> as my goal is to always use names I am neutral: to add scope types
is not a real burden and this catches errors.
But, of course I can guess why: the place where such notation occurs,
is usually parsed as address, and it would be truly neat if it could
handle the addressless zone id too.
=> this was the argument for the binary format. IMHO it is sound to
reuse it for the textual format, so I am slightly in favor of initial
Jinmei's proposal.
