Yes I understand. My suggestion was to somehow recognise
those trees and only for those try the "address" thing.
Not too important in this case I guess, since almost all
correct trees will have a "local-mac-address" property,
and the correct (standard-conform) use of "address" is
pretty much obsoleted.
Since you are planning to at a later date (hopefully soon :-) )
remove this handling of "address" completely again, I'm sure I
can live with it -- objection withdrawn ;-)
