The parts of the exports(5) manpage that discuss IP addressing neglect
IPv6 configuration. Update to include info on how to export to IPv6
subnets and addresses, and add a line demonstrating that to the EXAMPLE
section.

No, I was just trying to be clear that you can't use a dotted-decimal
netmask for IPv6.

To make it perfect you could use address blocks reserved for 
documentation. For example
2001:DB8::/32
and
192.0.2.0/24

see rfc 3849 and 5737
