So here are the concrete changes relative to the current ID:

(a) The InetAddressIPv6 DISPLAY-HINT is now:

       DISPLAY-HINT "2x:2x:2x:2x:2x:2x:2x:2x%4d"

(b) The revised InetAddress definition is now:

   InetAddress ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
       STATUS       current
       DESCRIPTION
           "Denotes a generic Internet address.

            An InetAddress value is always interpreted within the
            context of an InetAddressType value. The InetAddressType
            object which defines the context must be registered
            immediately before the object which uses the InetAddress
            textual convention. In other words, the object identifiers
            for the InetAddressType object and the InetAddress object
            MUST have the same length and the last sub-identifier of
            the InetAddressType object MUST be 1 less than the last
            sub-identifier of the InetAddress object.

            When this textual convention is used as the syntax of an
            index object, there may be issues with the limit of 128
            sub-identifiers specified in SMIv2, STD 58. In this case,
            the OBJECT-TYPE declaration MUST include a 'SIZE' clause
            to limit the number of potential instance sub-identifiers."
       SYNTAX      OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..255))

This is what will go into the next ID unless I hear any voices to
change something. (Please speak up quickly.)
