Well, MDN is nice, but it's not a reference for the standard. It just describes
what Gecko does.

As Hixie indicates in comment 1 it also complicates the algorithm for setting
because now you have to distinguish IPv6 addresses from everything else in two
ways. I do not think what Gecko is doing here makes sense.
