Well it is another apparent 'designed by comp scis to be as opaque as possible with a hundred bells and whistles that no one will ever use'
 As c186282 said. why not just prepend or append another '.000.'

   Hey, it'd WORK - kinda smoothly.
   Backwards compatibility kinda easy.
   Also, the NUMBERS are things people can UNDERSTAND,
   unlike all the long HEX crap in IPV6
   IPV4 = unexpectedly proved a bit inadequate
   IPV6 = horrible overkill 'solution'
   IPV5 ... my proposal ... maybe the best and
   most transparent. Good for the next 50 years
   fer-sure.
   Alt ... use the 'ports' idea - 123.123.123.123:22222
   Again, a literal few lines of IQ added to the needed
   utilities ... no 'port' = IPV4 address.
   These are numbers HUMANS can read, remember, understand.
   Don't know WHERE the IPV6 stuff was coming from - TOO tech
   IMHO.
