For getaddrinfo() it says:

    If the nodename argument is not null, it can be a descriptive name
    or can be an address string. If the specified address family is
    AF_INET, [IP6] [Option Start]  AF_INET6, [Option End] or AF_UNSPEC,
    valid descriptive names include host names. If the specified
    address family is AF_INET or AF_UNSPEC, address strings using
    Internet standard dot notation as specified in inet_addr() are
    valid.
    [IP6] [Option Start] If the specified address family is AF_INET6 or
    AF_UNSPEC, standard IPv6 text forms described in inet_ntop() are
    valid. [Option End]
I'm not sure what this really says, but I can read it to either
use the inet_addr() or inet_ntop() behaviour.
 

I read it to mean that abbreviated forms (via inet_addr()) are OK for 
AF_INET but not for AF_INET6 (via inet_pton())

Does anyone else read it differently?
