did you see what I was proposing a few months back.

Mainly leting a node have multiple addresses (since many do) and thus
saving repeating the same node with the same connection info and thus make
the nodelist easier to maintain?

also a way is needed to translate thesenew lists to old-style (possibly by
reformatting and selectively dropping information) for se with existing
software...
