This is probably true. However, I guess my point is 2 fold.
1) The implementation doesn't match the API specification. If
you can't work around it about the API level then you should be
able to work around it below the API and provide the specified
interface. Which is possible. Write once, run anywhere.
2) The initial response from sun regarding this issue was to
change the API from not directly specifying what happens to
something that doesn't happen accross all platforms. This
doesn't really help anything.

This works the same in java. When you don't specify and address,
you get all addresses. Broadcast and otherwise.
