Hi. I noticed that ndp(8) doesn't zero-pad Ethernet addresses, which is inconsistent with arp(8):

# ndp -an
...
2001:470:897b::1                     0:30:48:b1:1b:9c     em0 permanent R

# arp -an
...
? (128.238.9.201) at 00:30:48:b1:1b:9c on em0 permanent [ethernet]

As everything else I can think of zero-pads them, this makes it a little annoying to grep for addresses, etc. Is this intentional? It is the case in 7.x through CURRENT and the fix is quite simple:
