Hi Dave,
I think this makes sense. Reason I added these a UTF8 is to enable easier transition from the existing Redirect-Server-Address which is UTF8) to the newly proposed Redirect-Address-IPv4Address and Redirect-Address-IPv6Address AVP.
However, since there are new AVPs, not part of a standard yet, it is probably good time to change them.

Subject: [Dime] RFC4006bis: new Redirect-Address- AVPs should be using Address type

The draft of RFC4006bis (https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-dime-rfc4006bis-01.txt) 
introduces new AVPs Redirect-Address-IPv4Address and Redirect-Address-IPv6Address.
These are currently defined as textual. I.e., "dotted decimal" and "RFC5952".

I would like to propose these instead be defined to use the more compact and less ambiguous binary address format.

Specifically, I would like to ask this group if these two fields can be consolidated into one field,
Name: Redirect-Address-IpAddress
Type: Address, per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6733#section-4.3.1
