Clearly there are semantics in things like the IPv4 multicast and experimental address ranges (aka "Class D" and "Class E"); especially for the multicast case, the very fundamental semantics of the distribution are signalled using the address and there has been significant deployment using those semantics. Isn't that semantics in the meaning above? Thanks for any clarification, Ted
