Pekka, Brian, Juergen,
So, I'd actually suggest that we go for 1) or 2) but soften that a bit,
like: "if it is known by some external method that the prefix includes
an IPv4 address, the representation MAY print it in dotted decimal".
With "external method" I'm thinking of either a command-line argument or
application's own logic; I don't see how you could get that information
"dynamically" so that it would be available to applications (for
example, I don't see apps like that using DHCP information..).
Exactly. After all, this whole document is only a recommendation,
with strict backwards compatibility with the flexible format.
Good enough for me as well. I have requested an IETF Last Call for the
new version of the document.
