I think getprotobyname is supposed to return IANA-allocated protocol
numbers, so while 'posix rulz' is a great attitude and one I share,
there's no real conflict.

True; I was just trying to point out the complexity I found in case it
mattered later.

Yes, but I think it's the same as all other bind/etc. calls.

I just pass the result of 

(define *ssp-addr* (inet-aton "224.0.x.y")) ;not registered

so it's host order, like all the other calls.  Docs for bind,
connect and send don't mention this though.
