Comment(by ln5):

 Replying to [comment:2 karsten]:
 >  * The bridge authority should include the Running flag if the bridge is
 reachable over the IPv4 OR address and port stated in the router line of
 its descriptor.  This is for backwards compatibility reasons.  A bridge
 which is reachable over IPv4 while announcing a misconfigured IPv6 address
 should still be given out to IPv4 clients.

 This contradicts text in proposal 186

   An authority shouldn't list a node as Running unless every
   or-address line it advertises looks like it will work.

 IIRC, I've heard people (Nick?) talking about a Running6 flag.  Is
 this the time for such a flag?
