and thank you for taking the time to read and comment!

Section4. states

   recommendation in this document SHOULD be followed by humans and
   systems when generating an address to represent as text, but all
   implementations MUST accept any legitimate [RFC4291] format.

this was advised to me by Brian Carpenter that it was needed.
Does this answer your question?

I assume you are talking about the conclusion.
Do you think that it should read something like this?

 (2) "::" used to their maximum extent where shortens address the most

I got a similar comment on v6ops BTW.

You may be right.
I thought '(2) "::" used to their maximum extent whenever possible'
did enough to clarify, but a little rewording might be needed.
Thanks.

Appendix A, yes I would go with dot-decimal also.
Appendix D, I don't know. I thought it would be informative
to other operators (since we have to pronounce addresses fairly
often over the phone)...

Thanks
