I agree. And not only for the consumers, but also for the repository 
itself (no need to *additionally* store the original textual input, but 
only a normalized internal representation). Whether the full form address 
is capitalized or not, I wouldn't mind at this stage.

These comments applied originally only to the IPv6 glue of nservers, but 
as Jeroen pointed out, inet6num objects would benefit from the suggestion, 
too.
