Aha. Somebody's paying attention :)  That's exactly the sort of thing you'll end
up seeing a lot more of if you have to start chasing through 2 and 3 hops
of provider-customer-subcustomer.  It's easy to notice that an IPv4 address
is missing an octet - a lot harder to tell you have 7 chunks rather than 8,
plus you're left wondering whether you dropped 16 bits, or if one of the :
should be a :: instead.

But Joel - you *really* need to get out more. ;)
