I don't lose any sleep over it, but I think IPv6 should *never* show a
netmask. Ever.
As for caseness:
* I'm fine with lower case as per the RFC.
* If we're looking at this, then maybe the same should apply to MAC
addresses too.
* I note that MAC addresses are lower case when shown by ifconfig / arp
under Linux.
* IOS also uses lower case for MAC addresses, but upper case for IPv6
addresses
rtr1#sh ipv6 neighbors
IPv6 Address Age Link-layer Addr State

So you can never be 100% consistent :-(

Brian.
