Indeed, no literal IPv6 address in the nodelist right now. But there has been
at least one in the past. In NODELIST.036 of 2016. I wrote a Fidonews article
about it in Feb 2016.

The problem with "recommendations" is that there is no global consencus on the
degree of compulsivity. In some cultures, such as mine, "not recomended" is
almost equivalent to "not allowed", only to be used when there is absolutely no
other way. In other cultures, apparently in parts of Northern America, a
"recommendation" means little or nothing and can be ignored without
consequences.


Cheers, Michiel
