3.4. Other Minor Problems

3.4.1. Changing Platforms

When an engineer decides to change the platform of a running service, the same code may not work as expected due to the difference in IPv6 address text representation. Usually, a change in a platform (e.g., Unix to Windows, Cisco to Juniper) will result in a major change of code anyway, but flexibility in address representation will increase the work load.

3.4.2. Preference in Documentation

A document that is edited by more than one author may become harder to read.

3.4.3. Legibility

Capital case D and 0 can be quite often misread. Capital B and 8 can also be misread.
