Of course, the discussion seems to imply that even the experts have a confused view, so maybe I'm being too ambitious here :-)

Part of the problem, as we discovered in the last go-round on ipaddr, is that there are two types of experts: those who primarily deal with networks and for whom host addresses are just a special case, and those who primarily deal with host addresses, for whom networks are relevant only in certain contexts.

I hope we are converging on something that works for both. That should certainly be a goal, since the fact that it didn't was what scuttled inclusion last time.
