I would define ip-address-with-zone to be the same as ip-address (i.e., with an optional zone index) and then I would then use ip-address-with-zone instead of ip-address in inet:host (like we are all going to replace the deprecated ip-address with either ip-address-with-zone or ip-address-no-zone in all modules in the future to avoid depending on a deprecated definition). It does not make sense to me to have a type mandating a zone since on all systems I know of the zone index shows up only when needed (and creating yet another union seems overkill). /js PS: I guess someone will propose to use ip-address-opt-zone instead ip-address-with-zone. ;-) -- Jürgen Schönwälder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <https://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list netmod@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
