Isn't that self explanatory?

Yes, Binary Coded Decimal... Some microprocessors even had special instructions
for that. DAA for the Motorola serie IIRCs. But I don't think it is a good idea
to mention that term here. It may lead to more confusion to those among us who
have never come across it. So how about this:
f Has a ::f1d0:<zone>:<net>:<node> style host address.
Example: ::f1d0:2:280:5555 (for node 2:280/5555)
Cheers, Michiel
