Yes, will do.

Separate message to follow.

Think IPv6, where this is quite well defined. The trouble is that it's
not well supported in the socket API. I think the best we can say in
the text is that it's implementation dependent.

(To find the code for this in the prototype, search for the comment
"This is a hack.")

We did want to write the text independent of the IP version as far
as possible, but trying to do this bit in IPv4 would be masochism.
