Only some address types are valid, as discussed in review of v4.
Shouldn't we document that here?

Hard to see, but the space in "} }" is funny: it's U+00A0
(NO-BREAK-SPACE) encoded in UTF-8. Make it a plain old space, please.
Only some combinations of address types are valid, as discussed in
review of v4. Shouldn't we document that here?

I think we use ``local.host=addr`` markup.

I intend to look at this again after we decide what to do about the doc
