I am hoping that it is agreed that it is a mistake for the parser to silently accept unspecified input

it is *not* unspecified input

with /24 you *clearly* say "only use the first 3 octets of the address"

when you use a netmask you are supposed to know what it does and if not just don't specify it - the address alone would have had the assumed result

it's dead simple and there is nothing to agree
