One senses an undercurrent of politics.  The docs glowingly state how
ip6.int is the way forward (eg in the ARM doc: ``While the use of
nibble format to look up names is deprecated, it is supported for
backwards compatiblity with existing IPv6 applications''), but there's no
sign of it  actually happening.

Bit of a conflict there if the only method in service is deprecated.
