Subj : Nodelist flags for "Internet connectivity"

Hello everyone ... and apologies if this has been discussed already.

Looking at the nodelist flags IBN, IFC, IFT, ITN, and IVM, and how they're used in my current nodelist, I see them used as-is, and I see them used with a :port_number construct.

That makes sense.

I see the INA flag being used to signal a node's "Internet address", like "INA:my.spiffy.server.whatever".

That makes sense.

Looking at the end of the nodelist, I see comments regarding these flags, and that there's optional data in the form <flag>[:IP addres]

That does not make sense.

Looking at current practice, it seems I should implement the things above that make sense, and ignore the things that do not ;-)
