HI, I have't looked at the code. However, the InetAddress TC has base data type of octet string, and is essentially a union that can contain different values based on the value of an object defined with TC InetAddressType. Looking just at the value of an object defined with TC InetAddress, no code can 100% of the time correctly determine how to display the value.
