I agree, and the issue of synthesize names is not directly associated to
this. Synthesized names can very be hidden from the application if one
wants that. If a literal IP is provided, this data structure can very
well become the anchor point of the application.
However, it would be a little bit awkward, if you open a socket, with
address family AF_NAME, and then encode a literal IP into name field.
But it wouldn't be a major technical hurdle.
