Hmmm... The majority of "hex speak" IPv6 numbers in Fidonet does indeed use the format "f1d0:<zonenr>:<netnr>:<nodenr> for the host part, but I have seen at least two others. So is it current practise? Maybe.
But is it therefore or should it even be documented as a standard? Firstly: FTS-5004 is not about "hex speak vanity IPv6 numbers for Fidonet nodes", it is about assigning a /host name/ derived from the fidonet number to be used by the DNS system. The "hex speak number" mentioned in FTS-5004, is just an example. Nothing more.
A standard is something that says "do it like this and it will work". "Do it any other way, you are on your own and it will probably not work". That does not apply to the f1d0 numbers. Anyone may use them, but if you do it any other way, it will work just as well.
If it has to be documented at all, I think it should be a seperate document, probably not a standard, just a "reference note" or whatever.
