Hello,
 I agree in principle. In fact, the document actually _uses_ documentation prefix in both IPv4 and IPv6 examples.  However, as one knows, the documentation prefixes are limited in size and therefore the examples would be incomplete if using only documentation prefixes. So additional examples are provided. I thought hard to find a way to illustrate all examples using only documentation prefix and came to the conclusion that it is not appropriate and may in fact make the spec less clear.  So I’m ignoring this comment (sorry Suresh) for -11. 

Marc.
