Syntactically, ip-prefix and ip-address-and-prefix look the same, it is all about whether the non-prefix bits carry a meaning or not. Once these bits carry a meaning, you argue that this combination is a bad idea? Or do you argue that ip-prefix also is a bad idea (and if so do you propose ip-prefix to be deprecated)?
