Part of the problem, as we discovered in the last go-round on
ipaddr, is that there are two types of experts:  those who primarily
deal with networks and for whom host addresses are just a special
case, and those who primarily deal with host addresses, for whom
networks are relevant only in certain contexts.

I hope we are converging on something that works for both.  That should
certainly be a goal, since the fact that it didn't was what scuttled
inclusion last time.
