That is not technically possible, in practice.  If a ccap were to contain an IN for an IP Address family, there is no port number indicated anywhere for that IP address.  Therefore it can't be used to indicate an IP Address alternate in practice, since one couldn't use the address alone.

So... either we re-introduce the port number so that a ccap can actually be used to indicate an IP Address, or we make ccap only usable for PSTN and not IN.
