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 ...

;S    | Note: the optional non-standard port for IBN, IFC, IFT, ITN and IVN can

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

Why not just use the text from FTS-5001?

WD> * Introducing INA against the express wishes of Michiel

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.
