Would you please add example usage and output of socket_addrinfo_explain to the RFC, as that'll drive documentation creation? Also, it may be beneficial to elaborate on the scenarios where socket_addrinfo is easier to use than socket_* and friends (getservbyname for example) and the costs of that ease (eg, behind the scenes DNS queries).
