    Description

      The current specification wording for InetSocketAddress::toString is:

        "Constructs a string representation of this InetSocketAddress. This String
         is constructed by calling toString() on the InetAddress and concatenating
         the port number (with a colon). If the address is an IPv6 address, the IPv6
         literal is enclosed in square brackets. If the address is unresolved,
        <unresolved> is displayed in place of the address literal."

      The wording could be improved a little to avoid any potential confusion about how and when "<unresolved>" is displayed.

      This issue is filed in response to a question that was raised on net-dev, see:
