Now there is some discussion about it on ietf/ipng list, but
not yet clear if future document allow it or not.
If it does not become clear in this 1 or 2 days,
I'll change getaddrinfo() and related functions to use
inet_aton() for IPv4. (e.g. change it to allow 127.1)
Because,
-RFC2553 doesn't forbid it.
-X/Open spec clearly require it.
so it is standard conformant now.
If standard documents would be updated to disallow it in the
future, then we need to think of changing getaddrinfo()
behaviour at that time.
