Last time I looked at the RFCs and compared them with glibc, I found
glibc was buggy.

ip6.int uses a nibble-based format.  ip6.arpa uses a bitstring.
Unfortunately, the glibc people just replaced ip6.int with ip6.arpa,
which is obviously not correct.

See: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57870

I've had no feedback from this bug, nor any feedback from the glibc
maintainers.
