To explain this one, it was originally "Textual Representation"
and it was with colons only. Then we discovered that Bird uses
commas as a separator. Since that does not degrade the utility,
we allowed it. The real point is that it has to be exactly
3 positive decimal integers. If some implementations only offered hexadecimal
or used 6 int16's then it would become very difficult for ISPs
to communicate community settings to customers.
I can change it to a single representation and detail the allowed
deviations from it.
