I would define ip-address-with-zone to be the same as ip-address
(i.e., with an optional zone index) and then I would then use
ip-address-with-zone instead of ip-address in inet:host (like we are
all going to replace the deprecated ip-address with either
ip-address-with-zone or ip-address-no-zone in all modules in the
future to avoid depending on a deprecated definition).

It does not make sense to me to have a type mandating a zone since on
all systems I know of the zone index shows up only when needed (and
creating yet another union seems overkill).

/js

PS: I guess someone will propose to use ip-address-opt-zone instead
    ip-address-with-zone. ;-)
