Of course that is how it works. The socket API uses a uint32_t for the zone index; only the user interface uses a string. It seems appropriate to use the uint32_t also in the MIB and the DHCP option. We already covered this on another thread: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg15424.html I agree this should be made very clear in the text.
