I use it.

Btw, the "IP Flags" section in the Epilog does not cover all options that are
defined in FTS-5001. Most nodes use a hostname instead of an IP address. Also
this paragraph ...

.... is a bit misleading, when something like IBN:example.com:1234 is also
valid.

Why not just use the text from FTS-5001?

I'm not sure why it was introduced at the time. Maybe there were good reason,
but nowadays it's mostly useless and could be deprecated for simplification.
