Summary: The WebAddress/@IP attribute description is confusing

Initial Comment:
The WebAddress/@IP attribute description is 
confusing. As it stands, the wording is ambiguous. 
The wording also leads you to believe that there is 
no difference between specifying IP="*" and omitting 
the IP attribute. This may be the case if the IP 
Address of the target web site is "All Unassigned" 
but it is not the case if an explicit IP Address is 
assigned.

The WiX schema element description could be improved 
by including a remarks section that specifies how WiX 
behaves in the following circumstances:

1) IP is set to an IP Address.
2) IP is set to "*".
3) IP attribute is not specified.

It would also be worth reviewing whether WiX should 
behave differently for circumstances 2 and 3. Today, 
WiX does behave differently if the IP Address of the 
target web site is assigned. In circumstance 2, WiX 
finds the target web site. In circumstance 3, WiX 
does not find the target web site and generates the 
error "Failed to read IIsWebs table (-2147023728)". 
Is this intentional?
