But according to the spec (section 10.11) the mapping is done _when
checking an address for membership in a host list_. I read that (IMO
with justification) as meaning a bare lookup does no such translation,
because none is mentioned in the part of the spec about lookups (that
would be section 9.3 I guess). So at least this is a documentation bug.
The fact that the address I tested was a mapped one was intentional, of
course, because those are the ones presenting potential ambiguity when
expressed in a dot delimited form.
