The "version" portion of the address has so far been labeled "network id", and
indicates from which network and which chain the address can be used for. I
think that this change from network id to vers

If you must. However, BIP 13 has been pretty much undisputed, and only held
back by BIP 16/17 so far...

How will the code distinguish between the old scheme:
[one-byte-version][20-byte-hash][4-byte-checksum]
and the new?
1 in 256 old addresses will have a first-byte-of-checksum that matches the
new add

Hi Gavin / Luke,
BIP-13 again... I started to implement a bitfield based parsing of the version
byte using the description I got from Luke, but I then discovered that it does
not hold:
Network class:
00xx - main network
01xx - reserved
10xx - reserved
11xx - test network
Network
