"Bad address" makes sense to me.  This looks like an RFC comment, can we
remove it?

There sure are a lot of FIXMEs here.  This just seems to be an
implementation note.  I certainly encourage comments, but they don't all
need to start with FIXME unless it's something we really should fix.
"... may need to generalize..." does not sound like such a case.
