Dear Daniel,

Thanks for your input.

 From the delegation checker point of view, every pair "<name> <IP>" 
is treated as a separate entity, undergoing its own checks, hence my
preference for the syntax that reflects this.

However if anybody else has strong preferences for either variant of the
syntax, please let us know, so we could wrap this discussion up and 
send final proposal.
