2001:db8::/64 and 2001:db8::1/64 are NOT the same if you use them.

Why are they not the same if you define a prefix?

Because they're not. One of them is a valid prefix, the other one isn't.

+17.4 is not an integer, so this is an error (not because of the + but because of the . followed by additional digits). +17 is I think a valid integer value but the + will be dropped in the canonical representation.

Yes, but 2001:db8::1/64 isn't valid prefix (because the host portion of the prefix isn't 0) so why should it be "rounded" when 17.4 shouldn't be rounded if an integer input is expected?
