--- NEW FILE: IPv6.txt ---
ServerInterpreted address definition for type "IPv6":

The X.org Architecture Task Force reserves the ServerInterpreted
address type of "IPv6" for use with IPv6 literal address formats.
The syntax for the value will be defined as specified in RFC 3513
and the IETF RFC to be published based on the current draft at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipv6-scoping-arch-00.txt
This address type specification will be formally issued once the
IETF IPv6 Working Group issues the corresponding RFC. 

Version 0.9, March 2004

This directory contains the specifications of address types for the 
ServerInterpreted address family used in the ChangeHost and ListHosts 
requests in the X11 Protocol.  See Chapter 9 of the X11 Protocol spec
for more information.

--- NEW FILE: hostname.txt ---
ServerInterpreted address definition for type "hostname":

A ServerInterpreted address with type "hostname" shall have a value
representing a hostname as defined in IETF RFC 2396. Due to Mobile IP
and dynamic DNS, the name service should be consulted at connection
authentication time.  Clients supporting Internationalized Domain
Names must convert to ASCII Compatible Encoding as specified in the
relevant IETF RFC's before use in the X11 protocol.  Note that this
definition of hostname does not allow use of literal IP addresses.
