Good catch, thanks. Have fixed for v6, will wait 24 hours before submitting.

While on the topic, have you an opinion on whether SMALL is good here. My first thought was that
capitals _kind_of_ showed that it was an ID not an address, later contemplation made me think this
may only have meaning to myself from working on the patch so better to leave it SMALL like original.
Any thoughts appreciated.
