+3.5.3 ServerInterpreted host authentication
+
+The ServerInterpreted host family was added in response to comments received
+during the X11 over IPv6 standards public review period. This family allows
+registration of new subtypes and implementation of them by modifications
+solely to the X server, without having to modify clients such as xhost or the
+Xlib or X protocol standards. In the initial X11R6.7.0 release, two subtypes
+are supported - "hostname" for hostnames resolved by the server at connection
+time to better support dynamic DNS & mobile IP, and "ipv6" to allow IPv6 lit-
+eral addresses, including in the future, scoped addresses. For more informa-
+tion on these features, see the xhost manual page, X11 Protocol and Xlib
+standards, and the documents in xc/doc/specs/SIAddresses.
