Right... I think you and I have agreed that, if stored as an integer, it should
be in network byte order, ala in_addr_t. If you agree that IPv4 addresses
should be stored as in integer, then I suggest we go ahead and change to this
standard this week, before 5.3.pre1 goes out.

I do agree with Peder on shared IPv4/IPv6 storage as a char array (and that's
what I did for the data access functions for the MFD re-writes).

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
